Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Paul D. Scott, Judge. REVERSED AND REMANDED. Considered by Ahlers, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (3 pages)
This appeal involves the interpretation of a divorce decree providing that holiday time takes precedence over the parties’ regular parenting schedule. Finding there was a legitimate dispute over the interpretation, the district court ruled Cody Brigman was in default of the decree but not in contempt. OPINION HOLDS: Because the holiday schedule does not impact parenting time outside of the times listed therein, we agree with Cody’s interpretation and find he was not in default. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for entry of an order consistent with this opinion.
