Heading: Debt to Ray's Brothers

Text: Ray claims he borrowed money from his father before his father died, and that he was required to pay his brothers $18,000 to satisfy this debt. He claims the debt should have been divided between the parties. It was undisputed that Ray's father loaned Ray and Donna money. The evidence included a letter from Ray's father, dated June 27, 1988, indicating Ray and Donna owed him $26,100 at 9% interest. However, Donna testified she thought the debt had been paid, and she was unaware of Ray's obligation to his brothers. The district court found the evidence did not support Ray's claim, and we decline to disturb the district court's credibility judgment. See In re Marriage of Witten, 672 N.W.2d at 773 (Although we decide the issues raised on appeal anew, we give weight to the trial court's factual findings, especially with respect to the credibility of the witnesses.).
