The court dismissed the wife's request for half of the debt value paid by her ex-husband after they sold their marital home. The parties argued that since the sale occurred while they were still married and the funds were shared post-divorce, she should receive half of the debt amount. The court ruled that the debt was extinguished by the full payment made by the husband, leaving no obligation for the wife to share in the debt value.
