Robert C. LIGHTBURN v. Sheila Jones LIGHTBURN.

Court of Appeals of Virginia, Alexandria.

June 25, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

D. Michael Atkins, Charlottesville (McClure, Callaghan & Atkins, on briefs), for appellant.

J. Barrett Jones, Charlottesville (Jones & Green, on brief), for appellee.

Present: BENTON, COLEMAN and OVERTON, JJ.

OVERTON, Judge.

Robert C. Lightburn, husband, appeals the decision of the circuit court awarding Sheila Jones Lightburn, wife, one-half of the value of a tract of marital property and $7,250 in attorneys' fees. Husband contends that the trial court misapplied Code § 20-107.3 in making the equitable distribution award and that the trial court abused its discretion by awarding wife attorneys' fees. For the reasons that follow, we reverse in part and remand.
