Syllabus

In divorce proceedings, if the parties do not agree on a valuation date for marital property, the valuation date is the date the parties separated or the date of the service of the summons in the action, whichever occurred first. A district court errs as a matter of law in setting a child support obligation if it does not comply with the requirements of the child support guidelines. A district court's ability to award post-minority child support is limited to circumstances under which the parents have a statutory legal duty to support adult children. A district court errs if it orders child support to equitably balance the burdens of the divorce and to reduce an income disparity between the parties.
