Worker's Compensation
IOWA: In re Marriage of Schriner, 695 N.W.2d 493 (Iowa 2005).
Under a statute which limits separate property to property acquired by gift or inheritance, workers' compensation proceeds received during the marriage are marital property. But the trial court erred by holding that workers' compensation benefits due to be received after the divorce are marital property. On the facts, an equal division of the remaining proceeds was affirmed.
