Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dickinson County, Carl J. Petersen, Judge. AFFIRMED AND REMANDED. Considered by Tabor, C.J., Langholz, J., and Potterfield, S.J. Sandy, J., takes no part. Opinion by Potterfield, S.J. (8 pages)
Jeremy Eckard appeals the decree dissolving his marriage to Brittney Chapman (formerly Brittney Chapman Eckard). Jeremy challenges the property distribution, the specifics of the “right of first refusal” provided in the decree, and the court’s order regarding uncovered medical expenses for the parties’ two children. Brittney asks that we affirm the decree and order Jeremy to pay $5000 of her appellate attorney fees. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the dissolution decree entered by the district court; we remand for the district court to determine a reasonable award of appellate attorney fees for Brittney.
