Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Grundy County, Andrea J. Dryer, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Greer, P.J., and Schumacher and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Badding, J. (10 pages)
Brian York appeals the decree granting physical care of two minor children to Katelyn Heikens. OPINION HOLDS: Because the relevant factors do not weigh in favor of joint physical care based on the parties’ current no-contact order and Brian’s history of conflict and lack of respect for Katelyn, we affirm the district court’s decision to place physical care of both children with Katelyn. We award Katelyn $4000 in appellate attorney fees.
