In December 1979, petitioner, prompted by Mr. Aude's
physical abuse, filed for a divorce. The action was later
dismissed in early 1983. During this period, petitioner and Mr.
Aude were sometimes separated, and they attended counseling for a
period of time.
In March 1983, petitioner filed a second divorce action.
As with the first divorce action, this action was based on Mr.
Aude's physical abuse. The divorce was granted in September of
1983. Pursuant to the divorce proceedings, petitioner received
the following distribution of community assets: personal effects,
the family home, household furniture, a 1980 station wagon, and
an interest in Mr. Aude's profit sharing fund. Tax refunds were
not apportioned to petitioner. In the divorce settlement, Mr.
Aude received the Magnum investment.
Mr. Aude was ordered to pay alimony to petitioner for 6
years. The amount of alimony ranged from $3,000 per month in
1983 to $2,000 per month in 1986. Following the divorce,

accident in 1989, Erik sustained severe injuries, which require
