Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Kossuth County, John M. Sandy, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Greer, P.J., and Ahlers and Badding, JJ.  Sandy, J., takes no part.  Opinion by Ahlers, J.  (9 pages)

            Christopher Weydert appeals the property provisions of the decree dissolving his marriage to Amber Weydert.  He claims that Amber dissipated marital assets, district court should not have awarded Amber a portion of land because the land was gifted to him, and the court over-valued a dividend.  OPINION HOLDS: Christopher failed to preserve error on his dissipation claim.  The particular facts of this case justified awarding Amber a portion of the land even though it was gifted to Christopher.  And the record supports the district court’s valuation of the dividend.
