Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Sarah Crane, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Tabor and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (12 pages)
A father appeals the modification of his visitation with three minor children after they and the mother moved out of state to the Chicago suburbs. He contends the interim visitation schedule, where the children fly to visit him in West Des Moines twice a month, is in their best interests. OPINION HOLDS: The modified visitation order, which reduces the children’s visits to Iowa to once per month and increases other periods of visitation with the father to compensate, was in the children’s best interests as frequent travelling had impacted their well-being. We affirm other challenged aspects of the modification and order the parties to pay their own trial and appellate attorney fees.
