MULLINS, J. On November 22, 2010, Jodie Kelley filed a petition for dissolution of marriage from Collin Kelley. The petition came to a trial on April 12, 2011, where both parties represented themselves pro se. Following the trial, the district court entered an order dissolving their marriage. The court awarded the parties all assets presently in their possession, made them solely responsible for the debts incurred since the date of separation, and denied spousal support to either party. Collin appeals. He claims Jodie committed perjury when testifying about a glass hutch. He further claims the district court erred by not equally dividing an outstanding credit card bill and by not awarding him spousal support. Our review is de novo. In re Marriage of Morris, 810 N.W.2d 880, 885 (Iowa 2012). Collin first argues Jodie committed perjury when she told the district court she had no other furniture besides a queen bed, a couch, and a television; but, later admitted upon questioning from him that she also had a glass hutch. We find that Collin has failed to prove Jodie knowingly made a false statement regarding the hutch. See Iowa Code
