Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Pottawattamie County, Greg W. Steensland, Judge. AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED. Heard by Bower, C.J., and Tabor and Greer, JJ., but decided by Tabor, P.J., Greer, J., and Bower, S.J. Opinion by Greer, J. (17 pages)
James Bashore appeals the decree dissolving his marriage to Loriel Bashore (now known as Loriel Nordmeyer). James challenges the district court’s admission of exhibit 26, the spousal-support provision, the child-support provision, the division of marital property, and the award of $4000 in trial attorney fees to Loriel. Loriel asks that we affirm the district court and award her $2500 in appellate attorney fees. OPINION HOLDS: Because exhibit 26 was inadmissible, we exclude it from our review on appeal. We affirm the spousal-support provision, the property division, and the $4000 award of trial attorney fees to Loriel. We reverse the district court’s determination that their child is a dependent adult and the corresponding child-support provision. Finally, we award Loriel $2500 in appellate attorney fees.
