The parties married in 1982 and separated in June 2011. Ms. Bouvier was granted an unequal distribution of the family home and family property after Mr. Bouvier failed to respond to her pleadings and to make financial disclosure. Mr. Bouvier filed a notice of appeal which had the effect of staying execution of that judgment. The Court of Appeal dismissed Mr. Bouvier’s subsequent appeal.
