The division of community property in a final decree of divorce was proper because the evidence could have formed the basis for a disproportionate division. The special judge heard evidence about the wife’s adultery and her actions resulting in a judgment that the wife had breached her fiduciary duty to her employer necessitating the loan to satisfy her personal liability for the judgment. The husband testified that there was no business purpose for the loan, other than to satisfy the wife’s personal liability on that judgment. The husband also testified that the wife valued the 82 percent of the outstanding stock in her company at over $3 million in an effort to obtain the loan, but that she valued the same stock at $940,000 in the divorce proceedings. The lower court’s judgment was affirmed.
