In the Matter of the Marriage of GRAHAM, Respondent, and GRAHAM, Appellant.

PER CURIAM

Reversed and remanded for determination of value of husband's pension at time of dissolution; otherwise affirmed. Costs to neither party.

PER CURIAM

Husband appeals in this dissolution proceeding. He contests the trial court's division of his pension benefits, the award of spousal support and the admission of certain evidence.

The trial court awarded wife one-half of husband's pension benefits, payable to her as husband receives them. The applicable portion of the judgment states:

"[Wife] is awarded one-half of the pension plan existing by virtue of [husband's] employment with Pope Talbot, Inc., Oakridge, Oregon, in which [husband] is a participant. Said one-half of the plan is payable to [wife] upon the termination, early retirement, normal retirement, or the death or disability of the [husband], whichever condition occurs first."

Wife concedes that she is not entitled to share in any increase in the pension due to post-dissolution contributions, and that her interest must be valued as of the date of dissolution. Rogers and Rogers, 45 Or. App. 885, 896, 609 P.2d 877, modified 47 Or. App. 963, 615 P.2d 412, rev den 289 Or. 659 (1980), modified 50 Or. App. 511, 623 P.2d 1108, rev den 290 Or. 853 (1981). Because the record is totally silent on values, we must remand the case to the trial court to determine the value of wife's one-half interest in the pension at the time of dissolution.

There is no merit to any of husband's other assignments of error.

Reversed and remanded for a determination of the value of husband's pension at the time of dissolution; otherwise affirmed. Costs to neither party.
