Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Crawford County, Steven J. Andreasen, Judge.  AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED.  Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Greer and Chicchelly, JJ.  Opinion by Chicchelly, J.  (11 pages)

            William (Bill) and Mary Patricia (Pat) Wendt appeal the denial of Pat’s request to remove the co-guardians of their adult dependent daughter and denial of Bill’s request for visitation. Pat argues the co-guardians should be removed for failure to perform their lawful duties.  Bill requests supervised visitation after a prior court order revoked his visitation.  Pat and Bill also request that their appellate attorney fees be assessed against the appellees.  OPINION HOLDS: Upon our de novo review, we affirm the district court’s decision to not remove the co-guardians or award visitation to Bill.  We decline to award appellate attorney fees.
