Maher<\/a><\/em>, a husband challenged the court&#8217;s final divorce decree. He argued, among other things, that the trial court had mischaracterized and misvalued certain assets of the marital estate. The wife had sought the divorce on the grounds that they had discord or personality conflicts. She asked for a\u00a0division of community property, confirmation of her separate property, reimbursement, and attorneys&#8217; fees. The husband asked for a\u00a0division of community property in which he received a disproportionate share, confirmation of his separate property, reimbursement, and attorneys&#8217; fees.<\/p>\n<p>The matter went to trial. The wife testified they had a son who was over 18 years old. The couple didn&#8217;t have a close marital relationship, and the wife claimed the husband&#8217;s drinking threatened their relationship. In 1995, her parents started giving her monetary gifts, and when her mother died, she became the beneficiary of a bypass trust that her mother created.<\/p>\n<p>When her father died, she received distributions from his estate too. From her parents, she&#8217;d received over $1.2 million, which she claimed was separate property.
