Highlight

A district court does not abuse its discretion when it denies a party's motion to use frozen marital funds to conduct a business evaluation when the moving party has access to non-frozen, separate funds and has not addressed why the non-frozen, separate funds cannot be used.
A district court does not abuse its discretion when it denies a post-trial motion to include, as a separate asset of the marital estate, a loan owed by a party's business to the party when the loan was not included on the property and debt listing filed with the court and was not at issue prior to or during trial.
A district court has discretion to award attorney fees as a sanction for misconduct during litigation and must make findings regarding culpability of the party against whom sanctions are being imposed, prejudice against the moving party, and the availability of less severe alternative sanctions.
