- 2 - FINDINGS OF FACT Some of the facts have been stipulated, and the stipulated facts are incorporated in our findings by this reference. Petitioners resided in Salem, Oregon, at the time that they filed the petition in this case. In 1978, petitioner Frederick W. Tiley (petitioner) married Kathleen Ann Tiley (Ms. Tiley). In 1991, petitioner and Ms. Tiley filed a Stipulated Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for the County of Polk. On August 27, 1998, petitioner and Ms. Tiley entered into a settlement agreement set forth on the record in a transcript of proceedings in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for the County of Polk. As stated in the record, among other things: It is the stipulation of the parties that Dr. Tiley will pay by cashier’s check the sum of $80,000 on or before September 28th, 1998, to [Ms.] Tiley. On condition--by the way, that payment would all be classified as payment for attorney’s fees, both present and past, and back child support. None of the $80,000 would be classified as payment of any back spousal support and both parties have agreed that Dr. Tiley will not attempt to deduct any portion of that $80,000 payment as spousal support and that [Ms.] Tiley would not be required to recognize it as taxable income.
