Description

Tom Wachendorfer appeals only from the division of the community estate in a divorce decree and from the awarding of $355,675 to Margaret Elizabeth Wachendorfer as her share of reimbursement to the community estate for enhancement of the husbands separate corporation. Mr. Wachendorfer complains that the trial court erred in submitting an enhancement issue, special issue 3, to the jury and in relying on the jurys answer to it because 1) it was not raised by the pleadings, 2) there was no evidence, or, in the alternative, factually insufficient evidence of enhancement for purposes of reimbursement to the community estate, 3) because reimbursement was awarded, not for funds but for time, labor, and efforts, and 4) because the form of the special issue was defective. The appellant also urges that the trial court abused its discretion in the division of the community estate. We sustain the husbands first two points. We reverse and remand all the provisions of the decree relating to the property division, leaving the remainder of the decree undisturbed.
