Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dubuque County, Monica Zrinyi Ackley, Judge. ORDER VACATED AND REMANDED WITH INSTRUCTIONS. Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Chicchelly and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, C.J. (9 pages)
A father appeals the district court order modifying his child-support obligation under Iowa Code chapter 252H (2024). He contends that he did not receive a fair hearing and the court’s computation is not supported by the record. Both parents ask for appellate attorney fees. OPINION HOLDS: After reviewing the record, we agree that the hearing was incomplete and the calculations are inaccurate. We thus vacate the modification order and remand for the court to recalculate the father’s child-support obligation after a full hearing. But we decline to award attorney fees to either party.
