Purdue v. Purdue

DEL SOLE, Judge:

These cross-appeals are taken from a final decree setting forth an order of equitable distribution of the parties’ marital property. Because the original action was bifurcated, the decree in divorce was entered in September of 1985 but the division of the marital estate was not determined until 1989.
