Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Louisa County, Clinton R. Boddicker, Judge. AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED AND REMANDED WITH DIRECTIONS. Heard at oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Badding and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Sandy, J. (16 pages)
Bradley Bell appeals from the decree requiring him to pay Stacy Bell a property equalization payment, spousal support, and attorney fees. Stacy Bell cross-appeals from the decree, arguing she is entitled to a larger equalization payment and a larger sum of attorney fees, and requests appellate attorney fees. OPINION HOLDS: After a de novo review, we affirm the district court’s order of an equalization payment and district court attorney fees. We modify the dissolution decree to eliminate the award of spousal support, and remand for a determination of appellate attorney fees.
