Description
Julia Dessommes sued Lawrence Dessommes, her former husband, and his employer and two insurance companies, to establish her interest in one-half of his retirement benefits on the theory that his right to such benefits was community property which had vested before their divorce in 1963 and was not disposed of by the divorce decree. He defended on the grounds that the decree had awarded the benefits to him as his separate property, that her claim was barred by limitation, and that even if she still had an interest, she failed to establish its extent in view of contributions to the retirement fund and adoption of a new retirement plan after the divorce. The trial court rendered judgment on an instructed verdict for defendants. We reverse on the ground that the action is not barred by res judicata or limitation and that plaintiff was not required under the circumstances to establish the exact extent of her interest.
