Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Woodbury County, Tod J. Deck, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Doyle, P.J., Mullins, J., and Gamble, S.J.  Opinion by Mullins, J.  (8 pages)

            Kelly Torres appeals a district court order modifying a custody decree concerning her child.  She argues the child’s father did not meet his burden to show a substantial change in circumstances or that he has a superior ability to minister to the child’s needs.  The father requests an award of appellate attorney fees.  OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the district court’s modification ruling.  We deny the father’s request for appellate attorney fees.  Costs on appeal are assessed to Kelly.
