Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Jeanie K. Vaudt, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Bower, C.J., and Greer and Ahlers, JJ.  Opinion by Ahlers, J.  (7 pages)

 

            The district court issued a protective order against Musallam Yassen Faraj after finding Musallam committed a domestic abuse assault against his wife, Sahar Faraj.  On appeal, Musallam claims there was insufficient evidence he committed an assault and the district court erred by restricting his visitation and contact with the couple’s children.  OPINION HOLDS: Upon our de novo review, we find Musallam committed domestic abuse assault and affirm the district court.
