    2019 Ill. App. 181543 (Ill. App. Ct. 2019)   Cited 1 times

    ¶ 37 The majority notes that the MSA states that Judy and William "own as joint tenants the formal marital residence" and suggests this language shows the parties intended to retain ownership jointly with the right of survivorship. Unlike in In re Marriage of Dudek, 201 Ill. App. 3d 995 (1990), on which William relies, he and Judy never owned the marital residence jointly. And the original trust harkens to a time of marital satisfaction.
