Massachusetts Appeals Court June 16, 1989, No. 88-P-696 (Duckett v. Duckett)

In his appeal from a judgment of divorce, the husband does not contest the Probate Court judge’s findings of fact (summarized in the next paragraph). His principal objection is that, in making an equitable distribution of the marital estate under G. L. c. 208, § 34, the judge did not aggregate the respective debts of the marital partners and then allocate them equally.
