Third District Reverses Reimbursement Award

In Edge v. Edge, the Third District Court of Appeal reversed the lower court’s ruling yesterday which granted the Former Wife reimbursement for taxes paid on alimony over a period of seven years.  While the Former Wife successfully took exception to the Magistrate’s finding of laches, she did not take exception to the finding of unclean hands.  As this was a separate ground for denial, and was not the subject of the Former Wife’s exceptions, the Former Husband was found to be entitled to judgment based on unclean hands.
