Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Jefferson County, Lucy Gamon, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Vaitheswaran and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (8 pages)
Rebecca Riaz, now known as Rebecca Bachar, appeals the district court decision denying her motion to set aside a default dissolution decree. OPINION HOLDS: Rebecca’s reasons for not appearing for the dissolution trial were not credible, and therefore, she has not met her burden to show good cause for setting aside the dissolution decree. We determine each party should pay their own appellate attorney fees. We affirm the decision of the district court.
