Kathryn L. Rankin v. James A. Rankin

Mrs. Kathryn L. Rankin sued her husband, James A. Rankin, for a divorce. Among other things, she asked in her complaint for permanent possession of the home and a 1967 Cadillace automobile as lump sum alimony. Her husband answered and filed a counterclaim asking for a partition of all the real and personal property held as an estate by the entireties. A complete list of all property was set out in his complaint. The parties subsequently entered into a stipulation agreeing that they owned jointly as tenants by the entireties a residence in Pinellas County appraised at $32,000; a lot in Citrus County upon which a home was currently being constructed; a 1967 Cadillac automobile and two certificates of deposit in the amount of $5,000 each.
