In re Marriage of Padilla

Respondent appealed trial court order appointing a receiver over respondent’s estate in connection with a dissolution of marriage action, arguing that the trial court lacked jurisdiction or statutory authority to appoint a receiver and abused its discretion in entering the order. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the trial court had subject matter jurisdiction, the Marriage Act does not limit a trial court’s inherent authority to appoint a receiver at its discretion, and that the respondent did not present a sufficient record so that the appellate court presumed that the trial court heard adequate evidence to support its decision. (McBRIDE and BURKE, concurring)
