Pace v. Pace

Paul Max Pace appeals the division of property in this divorce case. Pace challenges the trial courts characterization of certain property as his wifes separate property and argues this characterization prevented a just and right division of the couples property. In eight issues, Pace argues (1) there is no evidence to support the trial courts findings of fact that the couples Harvest Hill home and the assets in the Linda Ruth Thomas Management Trust (Management Trust) are Thomass separate property, (2) the trial court erred by granting partial summary judgment in favor of Thomas and holding that the A. G. Edwards investment account (172 account) is Thomass separate property because Thomas failed to rebut the community property presumption, and (3) the trial court abused its discretion in dividing the community estate because the mischaracterization of the Harvest Hill house and the 172 account as Thomass separate property prevented a just and right division of the property. We affirm.
