A. H. Tarver Et Al. v. Arline S. Tarver

Arline S. Tarver sued her former husband, A. H. Tarver, for partition of their community estate acquired during nearly forty years of marriage and for an accounting from the date of their divorce on May 19, 1960. The fair market value of all property in the possession of A. H. Tarver and Arline Tarver on that date was $340,545.58. Two children of a former marriage of A. H. Tarver and two children of a deceased son of that marriage, the only heirs at law of the first wife who died intestate, intervened in the case. The intervenors sought, primarily, to recover one-half of the property in the possession of A. H. and Arline Tarver on the theory that the one-half was held by Tarver as trustee for them as heirs of his first wife.
