Description
The appellant, Thomas R. Vandegrift, timely appeals a final judgment dissolving his marriage with Mary P. Vandegrift, which granted certain special equities in the marital home to the wife. The facts are essential undisputed. The parties were married to each other on October 10, 1979, at which time Thomas had two minor children from a prior marriage, and Mary had three children from a prior marriage. Both parties owned their own homes before the marriage, with Thomas owning his home free and clear, and Mary having a small mortgage with monthly payments of $78.00 on her home. At the time of the marriage, the parties agreed to move into Thomas' house and renovate it to meet the needs of the large family, and to rent out Mary's home. A mortgage of $30,000.00, with monthly payments of $341.00, was taken out in Thomas' name to enlarge his home, and Mary's home was rented out for $250.00 per month. During most of the marriage Mary was employed as a bank teller and Thomas worked at Executone. The salary of each was approximately $190.00 per week. During the marriage a joint account was established, and into it the parties placed their respective salaries and the rental income. The two mortgages were paid from this account. The wife used some of her income and child support from the previous marriage with which to purchase $3,500.00 in certificates of deposit for her three children.
