8 later decisions quote this exact passage“'A trial court has considerable discretion concerning property [division] in a divorce proceeding, thus its actions enjoy a presumption of validity.' " (alteration in original) (citation omitted)).

4 later decisions quote this exact passage“[Sleparate property is not totally beyond [a] court's reach in an equitable property division. The court may award the separate property of one spouse to the other spouse in extraordinary situations where equity so demands.”
