Eggeman v. Eggeman

In Eggeman v. Eggeman, 2004 Ohio 6050, the Third Appellate District also found "before a compensating award is made there must be a clear showing that the offending spouse either profited from the alleged misconduct or intentionally defeated the other spouse's distribution of assets." The court found while the husband did engage in financial misconduct, the distributive award to the wife was not warranted because the record failed to show the husband personally gained or profited from his misconduct or that the wife's interest was defeated.
