This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

H and W were married on June 26, 1965, in Denver, Colorado. They had four children. H was a medical doctor, and W had obtained a degree in medical technology. Eventually, H formed and devoted his full efforts to operating a corporation he started. W was a homemaker. In 1980 she began part-time employment with the corporation and ultimately became its controller. In 1985 W and two other individuals, with the concurrence of H, formed King Travel, Inc., a travel agency. She was president of this company on the date this suit was heard below. The parties experienced martial difficulties counseling failed. W identifies four marital problems which she asserts caused her condition and which justified her leaving: (1) sexual inactivity, (2) H's excessive work habits, (3) H's failure to assist in the disciplining and rearing of their children, and (4) a lack of 'intimacy within the marriage.' W moved from the marital home on April 16, 1984. W then filed for divorce two months later alleging H’s conduct had compelled her to leave the marriage. H countersued for divorce on grounds of desertion. A commissioner denied the divorce on fault and recommended no fault. The chancellor granted a no-fault divorce and H appealed.
