Fox v. Fox
Fox v. Fox
Opinion of the Court
OPINION
In this divorce action there have been two prior appeals, concerning the need to consider $123,706.37 in “unidentified deposits” when computing the “good will” of the family business. Fox v. Fox, 81 Nev. 186, 401 P.2d 53 (1965), and Fox v. Fox, 84 Nev. 368, 441 P.2d 678 (1968). In making the second remand, we specifically determined our first opinion “did not intend that any new evidence be taken,” saying: “The lower court shall hear the objections to the special master’s report and enter its second amended decree of divorce, consistent with Fox v. Fox, supra, and with this opinion. In all other respects the original decree of divorce is affirmed.” 84 Nev., at 371. No petition for rehearing was filed.
The husband now appeals from a decree substantially like that concerned in the second Fox appeal, awarding the wife an additional $86,300 for increased good will value, recomputed upon consideration of the “unidentified deposits” as business income. Although this was consistent with our earlier mandates, the husband contends the lower court “erred in not allowing additional evidence to explain the so-called unidentified deposits of Foxy’s Restaurant (Mission Enterprises, Inc.) in the sum of $123,706.37.”
While the lower court was, of course, constrained to obey our mandates, the husband asks us to correct our prior rulings,
Other assignments of error are equally without merit.
Affirmed.
