We granted the application for discretionary appeal filed by the appellant, Vanessa Hollis, to consider whether the trial court erred by ruling that the parties’ final judgment of divorce awarded one of the parties’ homes to the appellee, Jerry Hollis.1 For the reasons that follow, we conclude that the trial court did not err. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court’s judgment. The final judgment of divorce incorporated the parties’ settlement agreement, and that agreement provided that, “as an equitable division of marital property, Ms. Hollis shall have and recover exclusive use and possession of the home in which she is currently living.” The agreement also stated that, “as an equitable division of marital property, Mr. Hollis shall have and recover exclusive use and possession of any and all properties titled in his name or currently in his possession, including a Honda Goldwing motorcycle, a 1983 Ford F-150 pick up truck, and the home in which he is currently living.” Moreover, the separation agreement stated that the parties “have amicably divided any and all properties between them and that each party shall have and recover exclusive use and possession of and fee simple title to any property which is currently in that party’s possession.”
After the final decree was entered, Mr. Hollis requested that Ms. Hollis transfer to him her interest in the home in which he was living at the time of the decree. Ms. Hollis refused to do so, contending that the parties’ agreement did not sufficiently describe and dispose of the residence, thus leaving each party owning the one-half interest in the residence that they owned before the decree was entered. Mr. Hollis filed a motion to enforce the trial court’s judgment, contending that the language in the agreement and the decree awarded him title to the home in which he was living at the time of the divorce. He sought to have the court enter an order directing Ms. Hollis to transfer her interest in the home to him. The trial court granted Mr. Hollis’s motion, and Ms. Hollis filed an application for discretionary appeal, which this Court granted.
