Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Webster County, Kurt J. Stoebe, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Mullins, P.J., and May and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (9 pages)
Justin Cerwick appeals the modification order placing the parties’ children in the physical care of Machelle Peterson, formerly known as Machelle Cerwick. OPINION HOLDS: We find Machelle has shown a substantial change in circumstances and that she can minister more effectively to the children’s best interests and, therefore, affirm the modification of the physical care provision of the parties’ dissolution decree. We order Justin to pay $5000 toward Machelle’s appellate attorney fees. We affirm the decision of the district court.
