In the case of Tanner v. Tanner, the Appeals Court of Massachusetts dealt with an appeal from George Donald Tanner regarding a Probate Court judgment. The judgment involved the division and distribution of marital property following divorce complaints from both parties. The primary issue on appeal was the requirement for George to convey his interest in the family home, valued at $70,000, to Carlynn Louise Tanner in exchange for $15,000. George argued that the apportionment was not supported by the facts or evidence and that the judge failed to provide a rationale for the decision. He also claimed that the judge considered factors outside the scope of the relevant statute, G. L. c. 208, § 34. However, the Appeals Court found no error in the Probate Court’s decision and affirmed the judgments, indicating that the division of assets was within the court’s discretion and supported by the evidence.
