Syllabus

Extended parenting time with a fit non-custodial parent is routinely awarded if the child is old enough, absent a reason for denying it. A district court's property valuations and distribution in a divorce case are findings of fact, which will not be reversed on appeal unless they are clearly erroneous. The district court may not order a property distribution that is inconsistent with the parties' settlement agreement without providing an explanation for its decision. The court may not order remedial sanctions for contempt without a finding of contempt.
