In a Decision – Pierson v. Pierson (an "Unreported Decision") >> the Court Held:
The Appellate Division determined that Husband was required to reimburse Wife one-half the rental value of the marital residence for the period Husband occupied it after the parties’ divorce.
As part of the judgment of divorce, the parties agreed to list the marital residence for sale. Father was granted exclusive possession. This did not happen for some time. The trial court granted Wife’s request for one-half of the fair market rental value of the home, as determined by a neutral expert, and ordered the parties aggressively take steps to sell the marital home and granted Wife’s request to exclude Husband from the decision-making process in the sale. (based on his lack of effort to sell the home or payment of any rent to Wife).
