LANORA HENRY v. JEFFERY W. HENRY

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Jan 27, 2025

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Karla C. Miller, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Jeffery W. Henry.

Attorneys 2: Stacy A. Turner, Clarksville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Lanora Henry.

Judge(s): USMAN

Husband and wife divorced. In dividing the parties’ marital assets, the trial court granted Husband significantly less equity than Wife in the parties’ marital residence. In its oral ruling, the trial court also set a five-year horizon before Wife needed to sell or refinance the home. On appeal, Husband challenges both the amount of the equity in the home that he was awarded and the failure to order a quicker sale or refinancing by Wife of the marital residence. Both parties agree the trial court inadvertently failed to memorialize in its written final order a sale or refinancing requirement for the end of this five-year horizon. We remand to the trial court for modification of its order in accordance with the parties’ agreed understanding; otherwise, we affirm the trial court’s order.
