Opinion
No. 125502.
September 24, 2004.
SC: 125502, COA: 226937 (after remand).
Leave to Appeal Denied.
MARKMAN, J. ( dissenting). I would vacate the decision of the Court of Appeals and remand to analyze this matter in accord with Reeves v. Reeves, 226 Mich App 490 (1997), and MCL 552.18(1). A party to a divorce action retains all property he or she brings into the marriage unless one of two statutorily created exceptions is met. MCL 552.23 and 552.401. Although failing to apply any such exception, the trial court here nonetheless distributed property brought by defendant into the marriage.
