Nagle v. Nagle

Summary

The court held that the district court improperly treated the parties’ extremely short second marriage as part of a single long-term marriage when dividing their property. It also held that the property division was clearly erroneous because the court either applied an incorrect legal standard or failed to identify evidence supporting an equal distribution. The court reversed the property division and remanded for a new equitable distribution under the Ruff-Fischer guidelines, with possible reconsideration of related spousal support.
