Virginia L. Potter v. Thomas H. Potter

Appellant first says that the trial court erred in approving an oral stipulation read into the record concerning the division of the marital property, and incorporated into the judgment because the division was required to be in writing by 452.325 (RSMo 1978). In the proceedings below, appellant testified: She and respondent were married October 11, 1952, and after attempts at reconciliation were finally separated in the latter part of 1979.
