Award Proper
Where the parties made a contribution of marital property in order to purchase a marital asset, namely, a pension, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by awarding the wife appropriate share at dissolution.
An employee’s widower was entitled to an annuity where it was admitted that the employee and beneficiary were married at the time of her death, regardless of separation, for former Ill.Rev.Stat., Ch. 68, para. 22 (see now 750 ILCS 5/101 et seq.) had been repealed, and when its provisions were reenacted under this Act, the provision that persons who live separate from their spouses “without their fault” were entitled to support was deleted.
