Frizzell v. Frizzell
Frizzell v. Frizzell
Opinion of the Court
Following oral proceedings, the trial court divorced the parties, divided their property, and awarded the wife periodic alimony and alimony in gross. The husband appeals.
The husband asserts that the trial court erred in awarding to the wife, as alimony in gross, a portion of his individual retirement accounts (IRAs). The husband insists that pursuant to Kabaci v. Kabaci, 373 So.2d 1144 (Ala.Civ.App. 1979), and its progeny, his IRAs are considered retirement benefits and, therefore, are not subject to division as alimony in gross or as a property settlement.
The husband raises no further issues for our review. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
The foregoing opinion was prepared by Retired Appellate Judge L. CHARLES WRIGHT while serving on active duty status as a judge of this court under the provisions of § 12-18-10(e), Code 1975, and this opinion is hereby adopted as that of the court.
AFFIRMED.
