Sue Ann Bowser v. John Bowser

Prior to a determination on a complaint for divorce filed by Ms. Bowser, the trial court found the parties to be married pursuant to the common law of Ohio after their first divorce in that state in 1984. The trial court then classified and distributed the marital property and denied Ms. Bowser's request for rehabilitative or in futuro alimony. We affirm the decision of the trial court finding that a common law marriage existed, affirm the trial court's distribution of property, modify the alimony decision and remand the cause for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
