IN RE MARRIAGE OF McMAHON

No. 15596.

82 Ill. App.3d 1126 (1980)

403 N.E.2d 730

In re MARRIAGE OF MARTHA LEE McMAHON, Petitioner-Appellant and Cross-Appellee, and WILLIAM WILLARD McMAHON, Respondent-Appellee and Cross-Appellant.

Appellate Court of Illinois — Fourth District.

Opinion filed April 10, 1980.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Harlan Heller, Ltd., of Mattoon (Harlan Heller, of counsel), for appellant.

Lawrence W. Grabb, of Sims, Grabb & Bennett, of Mattoon, for appellee.

Judgment affirmed.

Mr. PRESIDING JUSTICE MILLS delivered the opinion of the court:

We are asked to rule that the trial court should have split the marital property 50/50 instead of 60/40.

We cannot do so.

An even cut might have been proper and quite reasonable. But it is not mandated under the new law, and the failure to award one-half does not of itself establish reversible error.

The lower court is affirmed.
