Description

We are concerned here with three appeals that arise from the divorce proceeding of Homer Burrell and Teresa Burrell. Homer Burrell sued for divorce from Teresa which was granted on March 18, 1974. Teresa appealed the divorce courts division of property, contending that the court erred when it failed to include Homers one-fourth interest in the Burrell Trust in the marital estate. We agreed and remanded the case so that an appropriate award of a portion of Homers trust interest would be made to Teresa. Burrell v. Burrell, 537 P.2d 1 (Alaska 1975) [hereinafter cited as Burrell I ]. After a second retrial and subsequent judgment entered in June 1979, Teresa was awarded a forty-five percent interest in all payments received by Homer as trust beneficiary after December 29, 1978.
