1. “[Husband] does not contend that his wife squandered or misused the traveler’s checks in anticipation of divorce. Nor does he dispute that he knew his wife used the traveler’s checks in the manner she asserted. The court made no finding that she squandered or misused the funds or that it did not believe her explanation. In the absence of evidence or a finding by the circuit court that [wife] secreted or squandered the traveler’s checks in anticipation of divorce, we conclude that the circuit court improperly awarded that property to her.”
