Brown v. Brown

CROW, Judge.

James E. Brown (“James”)1 appeals from a decree dissolving his 14-year marriage to Phyllis I. Brown (“Phyllis”). James complains the trial court erred in (1) awarding Phyllis “a $20,000.00 interest” in James’ “non-marital farm,” and (2) denying James’ motion to set the decree aside. That motion alleged James was suffering “memory impairment” at time of trial, which prevented him from “meaningfully” participating in the trial. We address the second point first.

The case was tried October 22, 1993. Each party appeared in person and with counsel. The parties were the only witnesses.
