Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Dustria A. Relph, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Greer, P.J., and Ahlers and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (9 pages)
Craig Naeve appeals from the decree dissolving his marriage to Tania Naeve. He argues that the district court should not have considered the value of gifts he received from family when dividing the marital property between the parties. Craig also challenges the district court’s determination that he dissipated assets. Tania requests appellate attorney fees. OPINION HOLDS: Finding no inequity in the district court’s decision to treat the increase in value of assets Craig received as a gift, we agree with the district court’s decision to include that part of the value of the gifted property in the divisible marital property. Craig dissipated assets by transferring $125,000 to his grandmother. As to Tania’s request for appellate attorney fees, we deny her request.
