Constance Bolin Young v. William Kelly Young

Texas family law casebooks will refer to this case as Old v. Old before the litigation ends. Constance Bolin Young filed for divorce in 1982. The trial court entered a decree of divorce incorporating the parties settlement agreement on November 3, 1986. It entered an order clarifying and enforcing the final decree on April 16, 1990. Ms. Young appeals the clarifying order. In six points of error, she contends the trial court erred in: (1) determining that the decree is a final judgment; (2) determining that property the parties acquired after November 3, 1986, is the separate property of each; (3) awarding only non-income-producing property to her; and (4) its division of personalty between the parties. We overrule these points. We affirm the trial courts judgment. We conclude Ms. Young took this appeal for delay and with no cause. We assess damages against her as provided by rule 84 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. We render judgment for Mr. Young.
