A-16-0805, Mary Dueland v. Doug Dueland (Appellant)
Frontier County, District Court Judge David Urbom
Attorney for Appellant: Nathaniel J. Mustion, Lisa M. Shifflet (Mousel, Brooks, Schneider & Mustion, P.C., L.L.O.)
Attorney for Appellee: R. Bradley Dawson (Lindemeier, Gillett & Dawson)
Civil Action: Dissolution of marriage
Action Taken by Trial Court: The district court divided the marital assets, valuing the 401(k) plan as of the date of filing rather than the date of trial. The court awarded all marital debt to Doug and found that Mary did not dissipate marital assets. The court also ordered Doug to pay Mary attorney fees.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: On appeal, Doug asserts that the district court abused its discretion in (1) the division of marital property, specifically, in valuing the 401(k) plan as of the date of filing, in awarding all of the marital debt to Doug, and in not considering the dissipation of marital assets by Mary; and (2) awarding Mary attorney fees.
