Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Pottawattamie County, Michael Hooper, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Schumacher, P.J., Langholz, J., and Doyle, S.J. Opinion by Doyle, S.J. (7 pages)
Jeffrey A. Daugherty appeals the order denying his request to modify the physical care provisions of the decree dissolving his marriage to Tammy J. Daugherty, n/k/a Tammy J. Ryan-Zuniga. He contends a substantial change in circumstances warrants modifying joint physical care of the parties’ two youngest children to grant him physical care. OPINION HOLDS: Because we agree that continuing the joint-physical-care arrangement set forth in the modification order serves the best interests of the two younger children, we affirm.
