In Re Marriage of La Reno

Kathryn and Richard La Reno (Kathryn and Richard) were divorced on May 10, 1976. On August 27, 1980, Kathryn filed a post-decree petition requesting that the written divorce decree be amended to require Richard to pay the real estate taxes on her residence. The trial court, on February 18, 1982, granted her petition. Richard appeals and contends that the court lacked jurisdiction to order him to pay the real estate taxes on Kathryn’s residence and, in the alternative, that the court erred in holding that he was obliged to pay those taxes.

Richard and Kathryn were married on April 3, 1948.…
