Description
Calvin Young appeals a superior court order clarifying an earlier decree of dissolution. The order under review interpreted the dissolution decree so as to deny the allowance of interest on the award of a lien on the family home that was set over to Pauline Young in the earlier decree. The issue raised on appeal is whether interest does or does not accrue on the amount of a lien on the family home from the date of the decree when the decree fails to include any provision relating to interest and the obligation that the lien secures is deferred to a future date. We conclude that statutory interest does not automatically accrue from the date of the decree on the amount of a lien imposed to secure an obligation due at a future date if the decree is silent on interest. Further, a provision which is silent on whether interest will accrue on such a lien constitutes a denial of interest. Accordingly, we affirm.
