Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Jeanie Vaudt, Judge.  AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED.  Considered by Ahlers, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ.  Opinion by Ahlers, P.J.  (12 pages)

            Robert Bloomquist appeals from the decree dissolving his marriage to Sue Bloomquist.  He challenges the property division, spousal support award, and denial of his request for trial attorney fees.  Both Robert and Sue seek appellate attorney fees.  OPINION HOLDS: Because the district court did not accurately value Robert’s IRA, we recalculate the property division and increase the equalization payment due to Robert.  We do not disturb the spousal support award or the district court’s determination on attorney fees.  We do not award either party appellate attorney fees.
