Description
Orchid Lee Nedblake (wife) and Greydon Wesley Nedblake (husband) were married on July 10, 1979, and the marriage was dissolved on December 10, 1982, following a final separation which began on September 1, 1981. Both parties concede the marriage was ""rocky"" and they separated numerous times during the two years. The wife appeals the trial court's distribution of property upon dissolution. Setting forth the complaints each had against the other would serve no purpose in this case. The judgment is affirmed as modified. On their wedding day, the couple entered into an ""Antenuptial Agreement"" which set out the properties owned by each before the marriage. The wife owned four houses in Kansas City, Missouri, which she subsequently sold, and certain tangible personal property. The husband held a ""substantial ownership interest"" in Package Service Company, Inc., and an assortment of realties. The agreement provided that upon dissolution, the parties would ""take her or his property and half of any property acquired by them subsequent to such marriage in lieu of"" any alimony or maintenance claim. (Emphasis added.) The wife challenges the dissolution decree by first contending that the trial Judge misapplied the law regarding antenuptial agreements by awarding to the husband marital property valued at $715,553 and awarding to her marital property valued at $29,407. Second, and in the alternative, she contends that after considering the factors set forth in § 452.330.1, RSMo the court erroneously awarded her substantially less property than her husband.
