Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by In this divorce action we are concerned primarily with the
division of property ordered by the trial court. The plaintiff
wife was granted a divorce on the grounds of incompatibility on
October 4, 1972. Further hearings were held on the property
aspect of the suit, and on January 29, 1973, the court entered
its order: of a net marital estate of $176,707.86 the court
awarded the husband $143,581.61 and the wife $33,126.25. She
appeals. The parties were married in 1936, when she was nineteen and he
twenty. Neither brought any property to the marriage, but they
set up housekeeping at the edge of Assaria, Kansas in a house
belonging to Kenneth's parents. It was located on 76 1/2 acres
which over the years formed the core of his farming operation.
Some seventeen years later, in 1953, the senior Almquists deeded
the property to their son; the parties continued to reside there
for almost twenty years more. During the marriage the Almquists
raised four children, who by 1972 were all grown, married, and
living away from the family home.
