Syllabus

Interlocutory orders in an action are merged into the final judgment and may be reviewed on appeal of that judgment. A district court considers the Ruff-Fischer guidelines when distributing marital property. The \duration of the marriage\ factor is only one factor and is the length of the marriage being dissolved by the court, irrespective of whether there was a prior marriage or marriages with the same party or another person. In a short-term marriage, the district court may return to the parties what they brought into the marriage, but the division of property and debt must be equitable.
