Holding

The court held that the plaintiff is not entitled to half of the property acquired during the marriage and that the suit is not res judicata.

Facts

The plaintiff and defendant were married from 1982 to 2010. They had five children and were both primary school teachers. They acquired several properties and personal items during their marriage.

Issues

  1. Whether the plaintiff is entitled to half of the property acquired during the marriage
  2. Whether the suit is res judicata

Reasoning

The court found that the defendant did not combine their income to acquire any property, and thus the plaintiff's claim for half of the property is not valid.

Outcome

The plaintiff's claim for half of the property acquired during the marriage is dismissed.
