SACKETT, C.J.
Robert Blubaugh appeals from the declaratory ruling and ruling on his
motion to amend or modify the declaratory ruling concerning the division of his
pension. He contends the ruling changed the terms of the parties’ decree of
dissolution of marriage concerning property distribution, it divides assets
accumulated after the dissolution, and it improperly determined Patricia is entitled
to surviving spouse pension benefits.
Our review is de novo. Iowa R. App. P. 6.4. We have reviewed the
district court’s thorough, detailed, and well-reasoned ruling regarding the issues
raised on appeal. We conclude the district court correctly decided the issues,
and we cannot significantly add to a discussion of those issues. We adopt the
trial court’s ruling as our own and affirm. See Iowa R. App. P. 6.24(1).
AFFIRMED.
