In re Marriage of Rose

by
Wife filed a petition for dissolution of her marriage to Husband. After a bench trial, the district court entered written findings of fact, conclusions of law, and decree of dissolution, ordering that certain properties owned by the parties be sold and that the proceeds be put toward paying off delinquent tax liability to the Internal Revenue Service and the Montana Department of Revenue. Wife appealed the court’s finding and conclusion regarding the tax liability. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not err in considering the tax liability as marital debt or by including that debt in apportioning the marital estate.
