Travis Lynn Rasmussen v. Sasha Nicole Rasmussen

This is an appeal from a final decree of divorce. The trial court found that the husband is
a business owner and that his business, known as Choice Pool Care, LLC, constituted a
marital asset. It then awarded the wife “a 20% share of the business.” However, the trial
court did not value the marital asset. The husband appeals, insisting that the trial court
erred in finding the existence of a marital asset and in its equitable division of the asset.
For the following reasons, we affirm the trial court’s classification of the husband’s
ownership interest in the LLC as marital property, but we vacate the trial court’s ruling
regarding equitable division of the asset and remand for the trial court to value the asset
prior to equitably dividing the marital estate. The trial court’s rulings regarding child
support and alimony are likewise vacated and remanded for reconsideration in light of the
further proceedings that are necessary as to the division of the marital estate.
