2 later decisions quote this exact passage“In Stoker, this Court held that [interspousal immunity] had been abrogated with respect to intentional torts. We have never had occasion to decide whether this abrogation extended to negligence claims, and we do not do so in this case. It is unnecessary for us to reach that question because our disposition of [the wife's] intentional tort action makes it a certainty that she will have a remedy for her injuries.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In determining whether a certain division of property is equitable, neither the trial court nor [the appellate court] considers the property division in a vacuum. The amount of alimony awarded and the relative earning capabilities of the spouses to support themselves after the divorce are pertinent to an equitable division of the fixed assets of the marriage.”
