Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Crawford County, Tod Deck, Judge. AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED ON APPEAL; AFFIRMED ON CROSS-APPEAL. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Mullins and May, JJ. Opinion by May, J. (10 pages)
Joshua Thomsen appeals and MaKinzie Nelson cross-appeals the district court’s custody decree. OPINION HOLDS: We find the district court properly determined joint physical care was inappropriate. We also find the district court properly awarded physical care to MaKinzie. While we generally agree with the district court’s visitation schedule, we modify the holiday schedule to permit the child to share holidays with Joshua’s girlfriend’s children. Finally, we decline to grant appellate attorney fees to either party.
