202405 035 <br />The Plaintiff is to pay the Bank of America credit card account and her premarital debt to <br />Nelnet. The Defendant is to pay the IHG Visa and Sam's Mastercard account. The Court finds <br />that $929.69 of the Sam's Club Mastercard account is nonmarital debt. <br />Both parties request that the Court give them credit for funds expended during the <br />marriage. The Plaintiff for money spent from her inheritance and the Defendant for sums paid to <br />pay the Plaintiff's student loans. While there may be cases where the requested items could be <br />added or subtracted from the marital estate, this case is not one of them and in the Court's view <br />the items cancel each other. <br />The Plaintiff further requests that the Court consider recouping funds spent by the <br />Defendant on gambling and the $20,000 loan from his IRA account which was used to pay <br />gambling debts. The Court finds, as a matter of equity, the $20,000 loan ultimately deprived the <br />marital estate of $20,000 (by virtue of having to be repaid from the marital estate) and the Court <br />therefore considers the $20,000 as an asset of the Defendant. <br />The Court divides the marital estate as follows: <br />PROPERTY DIVISION <br />Assets <br />Plaintiff <br />Assets <br />Defendant <br />Real estate <br />$150,000.00 <br />John Hancock IRA <br />$23,284.11 <br />Personal Property <br />1,982.00 <br />IRA Loan <br />20,000.00 <br />Retirement <br />8,138.82 <br />Jeep Laredo <br />6,896.00 <br />Volvo <br />2,965.43 <br />Jeep <br />1,000.00 <br />Personal Property <br />1,000.00 <br />Total Assets <br />$163,086.25 <br />Total Assets <br />$51,880.11 <br />9'Page <br />
