not recognize petitioner as having an ownership interest in MGI.
Shares of MGI stock apparently were never issued.
To the extent petitioner held an ownership interest in MGI,
it was only a nominal interest. Without consulting petitioner,
John made all of the decisions relating to MGI. Petitioner did
not make a capital contribution to MGI, did not receive MGI
stock, did not have signatory authority on MGI’s bank account,
did not know what title or position she nominally held in MGI,
received no distributions from MGI, and as explained, never
received wages or other compensation from MGI.
Throughout their marriage, petitioner generally kept track
of the household bills and expenses, but petitioner would show
the bills to John. John would decide which bills to pay and when
to pay them. Periodically, John would transfer just enough money
into the marital joint checking account for petitioner to write
checks to pay bills he had approved. Petitioner did not have
access to John’s personal and business bank accounts.
Prior to their marriage, in an effort to convince petitioner
to marry him, John had checked himself into an alcohol abuse
treatment center. However, on the night of their marriage John
resumed drinking.
Throughout his marriage to petitioner, John’s problems with
alcohol increased. On three occasions during the marriage, John
was arrested for driving under the influence.
