Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Wapello County, Myron Gookin, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by May, P.J., and Greer and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by May, P.J. (5 pages)
A father appeals the jurisdictional dismissal of his modification petition in a child custody action. OPINION HOLDS: Because the child does not have a significant connection to Iowa and substantial evidence regarding the child’s welfare is likely not available in this state, the district court correctly dismissed the petition for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
