Mississippi woman keeps $1.2m farm bought in 1994 as ex loses court appeal

Ellen Harrison successfully retained sole ownership of her 432-acre Butler Road Farm after her divorce from Wiley Harrison. The Mississippi Court of Appeals upheld the lower court's ruling classifying the farm as non-marital property, given its purchase before their marriage. Wiley challenged the ruling, claiming marital asset status due to financial connections and alleged contributions. Courts evaluated the evidence and determined that such claims did not prove ownership.
