Ind. Decisions - Supreme Court decides one
in Robert Rovai v. Ann Marie Rovai, a 5-page, 5-0 opinion, Chief Justice Shepard writes:
Employing an arrangement relatively common to dissolution decrees, the trial court awarded the marital residence to the wife and ordered her to pay husband a share of its value when any one of certain later events occur. Husband argues that the statute on civil judgments entitles him to post-judgment interest running from the date of the dissolution decree. We hold instead that the dissolution statutes authorize a court to assess interest, or not, in the course of fashioning a just division of assets.
