10/20/2022	Order/Dispositional	Filed Order Affirming in Part, Reversing in Part and Remanding (Docket No. 81887-COA) and Dismissing Appeals (Docket No. 82756-COA and Docket No. 83029-COA). "Docket No. 81887-COA, We conclude that the district court's decision on the improvements issue was not supported by substantial evidence, see Williams, 120 Nev. at 566, 97 P.3d at 1129, and we therefore reverse and remand for further proceedings on the issue. We reverse the divorce decree insofar as it failed to (1) allocate the outstanding portion of the loans, which the parties made to the businesses from their community funds, between the parties; (2) evaluate whether the community was entitled to reimbursement for any community funds expended on one of the business's legal expenses; and (3) determine whether the transfers of funds from the businesses to the parties' joint accounts were loans, and if so, how those debts should be allocated between the parties. We also reverse the portions of the divorce decree addressing (1) the purported improvements to Raymond's home, (2) characterizing the funds in Raymond's bank account that he received through workers' compensation as community property, (3) directing the parties' to equally split their 401K and IRA accounts, and (4) awarding attorney fees to Lauara. On remand, the district court shall address these issues in a manner consistent with this order. We affirm all other aspects of the divorce decree. Thus, because no statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from any portion of the March 31 order, this court lacks jurisdiction over the appeal in Docket No. 82756-COA, and it is therefore dismissed. Because this court therefore lacks jurisdiction over Raymond's appeal in Docket No. 83029-COA, it is dismissed." COA-MG/JT/BB Nos. 81887/82756/83029 (COA)		22-32996
