1999See Finlayson, 874 P.2d at 849 (“ ‘Both this court and the Utah Supreme Court have long held that once a court has determined something is marital property, the court may distribute it equitably, notwithstanding which party’s name appears on the title.’” (Citation omitted.)); Haumont, 793 P.2d at 424 n. 1 (“[T]he trial court may, in the exercise of its broad discretion, divide *894 the property equitably, regardless of its source or time of acquisition.”); Naranjo, 751 P.2d at 1146 (“There is no fixed formula upon which to determine a division of properties in a divorce action.”).

Walters v. Waltersgreen
utahctapp · 1991 · cited in 1 Utah opinions naming this issue, 1993–1993
1 sentence

1993Such an unequal distribution of the parties’ marital property makes no sense in the absence of findings justifying the decision, see Walters v. Walters, 812 P.2d 64, 68 (Utah App.1991), cert, denied, 836 P.2d 1383 (Utah 1992), especially since appellee did not seek this result on any particular basis and where appellee’s lack of education and the special needs of the children do appear to have been thoroughly dealt with in the award of permanent alimony and child support, which we do not disturb.
