Ella Josephson v. Lynn Josephson

This appeal concerns the classification, valuation and distribution of property in a decree of divorce between Ella and Lynn Josephson. Ella Josephson has appealed from the district courts decision which affirmed the magistrates findings and Conclusions. The issues are: whether a savings account owned by Lynn retained its character as separate property; whether the community is entitled to reimbursement for improvements made to Lynns separate property; whether the common stock of two closely held corporations was correctly classified, valued and divided; whether the community has any right to the retained earnings of one of the closely held corporations; and whether the parties attorney fees are community debts. We affirm in part, vacate in part and remand the case with directions.
