In Re Marriage of Woolsey , 85 Ill. App. 3d 636 ( 1980 )


Menu:
  • Mr. JUSTICE CRAVEN,

    specially concurring:

    The trial court has no inherent power to deal with other people’s property. Section 503(c) of the act is the only source of the trial court’s power for dividing the parties’ marital property. Accordingly, our inquiry on review of the trial court’s disposition of marital property must be whether the trial court properly complied with section 503(c) of the act. See In re Marriage of McMahon (1980), 82 Ill. App. 3d 1126, 1134, 403 N.E.2d 730, 736 (dissent).

    The record indicates that the trial court did comply with section 503(c) of the act. Therefore, I agree that the judgment of the trial court should be affirmed.
