MIDDENDORF V. MIDDENDORF
696 N.E.2d 575 (1998)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over the characterization of the appreciation of
separate property during marriage.
FACTS: H and W were married. H owned a stockyard and when they were married it was worth
$201,389 and in 1992 the value was $309,930. Thus for purposes of dissolution, the asset had
increased by $108,541. The business primarily involved the buying of hogs and reselling them
to the slaughterhouse. The stockyard also contracted with farmers to feed hogs. H argued
that there was no evidence that the increase in the stockyard was due to money, labor, or in
kind contribution. H asserts that the increase was due solely to passive appreciation from
market changes.
