Oral Argument

Highlight
Duration of a marriage is only one factor of the Ruff-Fischer guidelines and is not controlling in a distribution of marital property.
A party's dissipation of marital assets is a particularly relevant factor in arriving at an equitable distribution of the property.
Periodic cash payments awarded without interest need to be discounted to present value in determining whether a property distribution is equitable.
Distributing farm assets to one spouse with an offsetting monetary award to the other spouse is an acceptable method of preserving the viability of a family farm.
