Oral Argument

Highlight
District court division of marital property was not clearly erroneous.
While long-term marriages generally support an equal distribution of the marital property, a court does not err by considering how the property was acquired and acting to preserve the viability of a business operation like a family farm by awarding a majority of the marital property, and its corresponding debt, to one party.
