Description
Zachery W. Sovern appeals the property distribution and award of appellate attorneys fees in the decree dissolving his marriage to Tracey L. Sovern. He asserts the court erred in finding that (1) his parents, who are nonparties to this action, hold two parcels of real estate to which they have record title - Zacherys and Traceys home and Zacherys automobile body shop - inconstructive trust for Traceys and his benefit and (2) the value of these properties should be included in the marital estate. The court awarded Zachery the couples interests in the home and shop and awarded Tracey cash to compensate her for her interests therein. Because the parents were not parties to the action, the court lacked the authority to impose a constructive trust over any properties titled to them. But, because the courts decree does not bind the nonparty parents or affect their interests in any way, we find the error to be harmless. Therefore, we affirm.
