Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Johnson County, Paul D. Miller, Judge. AFFIRMED AND REMANDED. Considered by Mullins, P.J., and May and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (7 pages)
The father appeals the district court’s denial of his request for increased visitation and the requirement that he pay a portion of the mother’s attorney fees. OPINION HOLDS: The father failed to meet his burden to establish a material change in circumstances to warrant an increase in his visitation time. The district court did not abuse its discretion in requiring the father to pay a portion of the mother’s trial attorney fees. The father is required to pay a portion of the mother’s appellate attorney fees as well, and this matter is remanded to the district court to ascertain the proper amount.
