Gibson v. Gibson

Goolsby, Judge:

The wife Sally B. Gibson brought this action against her husband Bobby T. Gibson seeking separate maintenance, equitable distribution, and attorney’s fees. The husband counterclaimed seeking a divorce on the ground of physical cruelty. He too asked for an equitable distribution of the marital property. The family court granted the wife separate maintenance, denied the husband a divorce, divided the marital property between the parties, and awarded the wife attorney’s fees. The husband appeals. We reverse and remand the case to the family court.
