The divorce decree provided that the Arden Road house, which
was titled only in Mrs. Suhr’s name, “shall remain in the names
of” petitioner and Mrs. Suhr but granted Mrs. Suhr exclusive
possession of that house. The divorce decree required petitioner
and Mrs. Suhr to sell the Arden Road house no later than 8 years
after the divorce; i.e., by June 15, 1995. Until then, the
divorce decree required petitioner to pay the mortgage, real
estate taxes, and insurance on the house. The divorce decree
also provided that petitioner and Mrs. Suhr “shall do all things
necessary to facilitate the sale of the house”. The divorce
decree provided that petitioner and Mrs. Suhr would each receive
one-half of the net equity from the sale of the Arden Road house;
that is, the amount remaining after paying the mortgage, real
estate commission, prorated taxes, and other selling costs.
The divorce decree did not require Mrs. Suhr to transfer her
title or any interest in the Arden Road house to petitioner, and
she never did so. In contrast, the divorce decree required Mrs.
Suhr to transfer her right, title, and interest to 1577-1579
South High Street, Columbus, Ohio, by quitclaim deed to
petitioner. Mrs. Suhr transferred her title to the South High
Street property to petitioner on December 9, 1988.
