Moore, J.
(dissenting) — I respectfully dissent to Divisions III through X of the majority opinion as to the disposition of property. By the provisions of section 598.14 it is the duty of the court to make such an order in relation to the property of the parties as shall be right.
The majority opinion gives part of the property to defendant and puts the balance in trust for the children. The result is *809that plaintiff, without the slightest accusation of fault against her, is left penniless.
I would eliminate any trust provision and divide the property. seventy-five percent to plaintiff and twenty-five percent to defendant. I would also require defendant to pay $80 per month child support.
I agree with the majority opinion regarding custody of the children and defendant’s visitations.
Larson, Thornton and Stuart, JJ., join in this dissent.
