465 N.W.2d 726 (1991) 237 Neb. 231 Kathleen K. LaBENZ, Appellee, v. John Edward LaBENZ, Appellant. No. 90-182. Supreme Court of Nebraska. February 15, 1991. Bradley D. Holtorf, of Sidner, Svoboda, Schilke, Thomsen, Holtorf & Boggy, Fremont, for appellant. James S. Jansen, of Stave, Coffey, Swenson, Jansen & Schatz, P.C., Omaha, for appellee. Before HASTINGS, C.J., and BOSLAUGH, WHITE, CAPORALE, SHANAHAN, GRANT and FAHRNBRUCH, JJ. PER CURIAM. This is an appeal from the judgment of the district court in a proceeding to dissolve the marriage of appellant husband and appellee wife. The husband appeals, claiming the district court erred in awarding custody of the parties' children to the wife, incorrectly valuing and dividing the marital estate, determining each party's responsibility for the couple's indebtedness, awarding alimony to the wife, and preserving temporary support in favor of the wife. Huffman v. Huffman, 236 Neb. 101, 104, 459 N.W.2d 215, 219 (1990). Accord, Von Tersch v. Von Tersch, 235 Neb. 263, 455 N.W.2d 130 (1990); Ritter v. Ritter, 234 Neb. 203, 450 N.W.2d 204 (1990). From our review de novo on the record in these proceedings, we find no abuse of discretion by the district court. We note, however, that the dissolution decree erroneously ordered the wife to pay $1,173 on a nonexistent Visa credit card account. The decree should be modified, and hereby is modified, by striking any reference to the Visa debt and by ordering the wife to pay $1,173 of the parties' Sioux Falls, South Dakota, MasterCard debt. We decline to award an attorney fee in this appeal. AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED.
