“Double dipping” might sometimes be OK in divorce cases

Description

Abstract: “Double dipping” is generally understood as the double counting of a marital asset in a marital dissolution — once in the property division and again in the spousal support award. But, courts may frown on double dipping. This article discusses a recent case, where the Ohio Court of Appeals rejected not only this definition of “double dipping” but also its previous holding prohibiting double dipping.
