Marriage of LaSalvia CA5
Petitioner Steven J. LaSalvia (husband) and respondent Joan Falasco LaSalvia (wife) divorced after 34 years of marriage. Husband appeals from the judgment, challenging the court’s distribution of assets and award of permanent spousal support. Husband raised four major issues on appeal. Husband inherited significant ownership in Los Banos Abattoir (LBA), and became chief executive officer (CEO) of the company upon the death of his father in 1986. After a lengthy trial, including opinions from the parties’ respective expert witnesses, the trial court found that husband was undercompensated during the marriage by LBA in the amount of $912,000, and provided wife her community interest share of the undercompensated wages. Husband challenges the court’s finding that he was undercompensated.
