HARRY HUGHES, Governor

2083

Subsection (b) of this section formerly appeared as CJ
§ 3-6A-05(c).

In the introductory language of subsection (a) of this
section, the clause "the court determines which
property is marital property, and the value of the
marital property" is substituted for the former
language "making the determination", for clarity.

In subsection (a)(4) of this section, the former word
"facts" is deleted as unnecessary.

In subsection (a)(9) of this section, the former
phrase "under this Subtitle 6A" is deleted as
unnecessary.

The only other changes are in style.

Defined terms: "Family home" § 8-201
"Family use personal property" § 8-201
"Including" § 1-101 "Marital property" § 8-201

8-206. FAMILY HOME; FAMILY USE PERSONAL PROPERTY -- LEGISLATIVE
POLICY.

THE COURT SHALL EXERCISE ITS POWERS UNDER §§ 8-207 THROUGH
8-213 OF THIS SUBTITLE:

(1)  TO ENABLE ANY CHILD OF THE FAMILY TO CONTINUE TO
LIVE IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITY THAT ARE FAMILIAR TO THE
CHILD; AND

(2)  TO PROVIDE FOR THE CONTINUED OCCUPANCY OF THE
FAMILY HOME AND POSSESSION AND USE OF FAMILY USE PERSONAL
PROPERTY BY A PARTY WITH CUSTODY OF A CHILD WHO HAS A NEED TO
LIVE IN THAT HOME.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the first sentence of
former CJ § 3-6A-06(a).
