Renville v. Renville
No. 20090343
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Carl Renville appeals, and Cheryl Renville cross-appeals, from the trial court’s judgment granting the parties a divorce and dividing the marital property. On appeal, Carl Renville argues the trial court erred in its valuation of the parties’ business. A trial court’s property valuation is presumed correct and will not be reversed on appeal unless it is clearly erroneous. Evenson v. Evenson , 2007 ND 194, ¶ 6, 742 N.W.2d 829. “‘Marital property valuations within the range of evidence presented to the trial court are not clearly erroneous.’” Id. (quoting Olson v. Olson , 2002 ND 30, ¶ 7, 639 N.W.2d 701). Because the trial court’s valuation of the parties’ business was within the range of evidence presented at trial, we affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (7).
[¶2] Both parties request an award of attorney’s fees and costs on appeal. However, neither party provides any basis or support for such an award. The parties’ requests for attorney’s fees and costs are, therefore, denied. See Doepke v. Doepke , 2009 ND 10, ¶ 21, 760 N.W.2d 131 (denying a request for attorney’s fees when the party failed to provide any support for the request).
