"The Court additionally finds that the Montana Ranch and the other two Montana properties are not titled in both of the Parties' names, either as joint tenants with right of survivorship or as tenants by the entireties, as needed by the PMA to generate marital property," the ruling states. "As a result, the Court rejects Respondent's contention that the Montana Ranch and other Montana holdings are marital property held 50/50 by the Parties."
