Supreme Court Properly Declined to Give Husband Credit for Separate Property Contributions to Marital Residence—Husband Subsequently Conveyed Property to the Parties Jointly

The Third Department determined that Supreme Court properly declined to credit the husband with separate property contributions to the acquisition of the marital residence:

Although the residence was purchased prior to the marriage and the husband’s separate funds were used for the down payment and premarital mortgage payments, the husband conveyed the property to the parties jointly in 1998, creating a presumption that it then became marital property in its entirety … .  Under these circumstances, whether to grant the husband a credit for the contribution of separate property to the acquisition of this marital asset was within Supreme Court’s discretion …, and we find no abuse of that discretion here. Alecca v Alecca, 516659, 3rd Dept 11-21-13
