1Opinion of the CourtSaufley, C.J.

[¶ 1] Patrick A. Burrow appeals from a divorce judgment and rulings on post-judgment motions for findings of fact and conclusions of law entered by the District Court (Wiscasset, J.D. Kennedy, /.). Patrick argues that the court misapplied the law, erred in reaching factual findings, and abused its discretion when it set apart to Rachel L. Burrow $75,000 of the value of the parties’ marital real property before it equally divided the rest of the value. We discern no legal error, but, because of a factual error, we vacate the judgment and remand for further proceedings.
