At the time of the separation, Aki retained possession of forty three art objects that were in the house. Robert and Aki each claimed ownership rights to these objects. Robert claimed that forty-two of the items were either purchased by him or given to him by his father. One item was given to him by Aki. Aki claimed ownership of the items as a result of her purchases made with joint funds, as well as a result of gifts from Robert and Robert’s father. Aki took all forty-three items to Paris when she and their children moved there in 1972. Robert demanded that Aki return his property.
