Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Stuart P. Werling, Judge. AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Tabor and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (9 pages)
The mother of a minor child appeals the decision of the district court granting the child’s father physical care and setting the mother’s visitation rights. OPINION HOLDS: Because the mother put the child in harm’s way by abusing methamphetamine and other concerns with her parenting, we agree physical care of the child should be placed with the father. We modify visitation to continue the parties’ prior arrangement of allowing the child to visit with the mother every Wednesday. We deny both parties’ claims for appellate attorney fees.
