Domestic relations, no children. Affirms the final dissolution order as it relates to the marital property. Finds the Decatur Circuit Court’s findings challenged by husband Gerard M. Dierckman are supported by the evidence and/or are not contrary to law. Also finds the trial court did not abuse its discretion by valuing the farm and its income as of the end of 2020/beginning of 2021, nor did it err in valuing the farm inventory, accounts receivable and marital debt as of the date of the dissolution petition in December 2019. Finally, finds the trial court acted within its discretion when it decreased wife Sandra E. Dierckman’s equalization payment by the amount she paid Gerard for her personal expenses while the dissolution was pending.
