Sheila Mae Grider v. Gregory Newman Grider

In this divorce action, the parties have appealed the trial court’s classification of certain
assets as well as the court’s overall marital property distribution. The husband has also
appealed the trial court’s award of attorney’s fees to the wife in conjunction with her
procurement and enforcement of an order of protection. Following review, we vacate the
trial court’s classification of certain real property assets as well as the court’s overall
marital property distribution. We remand this matter to the trial court for further
evidence to be presented concerning the values of one unimproved lot of real property
and the parties’ retirement assets and for the court to value and equitably distribute all of
the parties’ marital assets, including the two real properties in Alabama previously
classified as the husband’s separate property and the various retirement accounts. We
affirm the trial court’s award of attorney’s fees to the wife related to her procurement and
enforcement of an order of protection against the husband.
