Half of the wife’s work bonus that she had hidden and lied about was properly awarded to the husband. The wife was not awarded interest in the husband’s premarital home, premarital vehicle and marital retirement funds, and has not demonstrated that the court clearly erred. The circuit court was required, as the trier of fact, to determine the credibility of witnesses and to resolve conflicting testimony and its resolution of disputed facts will not be disturbed.
