Summary
Certiorari to the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Paul D. Scott, Judge. WRIT ANNULLED. Considered by Ahlers, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Badding, J. (15 pages)
On certiorari, Staesha Felton challenges a district court ruling finding her in contempt of a dissolution decree and awarding trial attorney fees to Raymond Wilson. Both parties request an award of appellate attorney fees. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find substantial evidence that Staesha willfully violated the decree, we annul the writ of certiorari. We also reject Staesha’s challenge to the district court’s award of trial attorney fees to Ray, and we deny each party’s request for appellate attorney fees.
