1Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

Judge HUME.

In this dissolution of marriage action, Frank Nevil, husband, appeals the award of maintenance to Evelyn Nevil, wife. Husband contends that the trial court erred in awarding maintenance because his income consists of monthly payments derived from his Veteran’s Administration Disability Pension and Civil Service Retirement Pension, both of which were earned prior to this twelve-year marriage. He also argues that an award of maintenance which is payable from these sources indirectly divides his disability pension, contrary to federal law preempting this issue. We affirm.
