This appeal concerns the financial aspects of the dissolution of a 21-year marriage. Both parties sought a divorce in the Chancery Court for Dickson County. The trial court conducted a bench trial and awarded the divorce to the wife. The trial court divided the marital estate, declined to award the wife spousal support, and directed the husband to pay $10,000 to defray the wife's legal expenses. Both parties have appealed. The wife takes issue with her share of the marital estate and with the trial court's refusal to award spousal support. The husband takes issue with the classification of his interest in the family business as marital property and with the award for the wife's legal expenses. We have determined that the division of the marital property must be revised and that the wife is entitled to temporary spousal support. We have also determined that the wife is not entitled to an additional award for her legal expenses.
