Description
Respondent Michael J. Siegel (Michael) appeals the custody award, property division, maintenance and attorney fees portions of a judgment entered in the circuit court of Cook County on October 6, 1981, dissolving his marriage to petitioner, Gail Siegel (Gail). On appeal, Michael contends that the trial court erred in awarding custody of the parties' two minor children to Gail; in finding that Michael had dissipated the marital home; in directing Michael to pay to Gail $30,000 as her half of the equity in the marital home; in finding that Michael should pay Gail maintenance of $150 per month for a period of three years; and in directing Michael to contribute $9,000 to Gail's attorney fees. For the reasons hereinafter stated, we affirm the judgment of the trial court. Michael and Gail were married on July 26, 1964. Two children were born of this marriage: Scott, born March 19, 1966, and Jason, born January 24, 1970. On August 15, 1979, Gail filed a petition for dissolution, alleging mental cruelty. On November 21, 1980, Michael filed a counterpetition for legal separation or dissolution, alleging adultery and mental cruelty. On October 6, 1981, after a bifurcated hearing, an order of dissolution was granted on Michael's counterpetition on the stipulated grounds of mental cruelty.
