Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Scott J. Beattie, Judge.  AFFIRMED AND REMANDED.  Considered without oral argument by Greer, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ.  Opinion by Chicchelly, J.  (12 pages)

            Robert and Alisha Orton appeal the terms of their dissolution decree.  Robert appeals the calculation of his annual income and the spousal support awarded to Alisha.  Alisha cross-appeals, arguing the district court should have awarded a property equalization payment or otherwise asks us to find the premarital agreement unenforceable.  Alisha further requests appellate attorney fees.  OPINION HOLDS: Upon our review, we affirm the district court and remand for a determination of appellate attorney fees.
