Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Plymouth County, Robert D. Tiefenthaler, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Ahlers, P.J., and Badding and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Badding, J. (10 pages)
Danielle Ladenthin appeals a custody decree that placed her child with Michael Davis in Michael’s physical care. OPINION HOLDS: Despite Danielle’s history of being the child’s primary caretaker, we conclude that it is in the child’s best interests to be placed in Michael’s physical care. Michael is an active parent with a safe home who supports the child’s relationship with Danielle. We accordingly affirm the district court’s physical-care decision.
