Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, John D. Telleen, Judge. AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED. Considered by Doyle, P.J., Mullins, J., and Mahan, S.J. Opinion by Doyle, P.J. (16 pages)
A mother appeals the district court’s ruling awarding physical care of the parties’ minor child to the father and restricting her rights as a joint legal custodian. OPINION HOLDS: We eliminate the provision awarding the father sole decision making authority over the child’s medical care and educational matters. The parties are therefore awarded unqualified joint legal custody of the parties’ minor child. We affirm the district court’s order awarding the father physical care of the child.
