Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Webster County, Kurt J. Stoebe, Judge.  AFFIRMED IN PART, MODIFIED IN PART, AND REVERSED IN PART.  Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Schumacher and Chicchelly, JJ.  Opinion by Chicchelly, J.  (12 pages)

            Alex Taylor appeals the decree establishing paternity, custody, visitation, and support of J.T., the child he shares with Amanda Hergenreter.  OPINION HOLDS: We modify the decree to award Amanda $28,163.57 in past child support.  We affirm the award of past cash medical support.  Because the court exceeded its authority, we reverse the award of one-half of the parties’ 2018 income tax refund to Amanda.  Finally, we affirm the denial of trial attorney fees and decline to award appellate attorney fees.
