Guill v. Guill

Summary

The Montana Supreme Court affirmed judgments awarding real property to Candace Kathleen Guill to satisfy her share of the marital estate and a separate judgment for lost personal property. The court held that the District Court did not abuse its discretion in enforcing the dissolution decree and related judgment. The opinion is a noncitable memorandum opinion under the Montana Supreme Court Internal Operating Rules.

Holdings
