Lacole Mantey appeals the district court’s order on Riley Mantey’s petition to modify the decree dissolving their marriage, challenging the court’s decision to grant Riley’s request for physical care of their children. OPINION HOLDS: On our de novo review, we conclude Riley was the superior caretaker and the district court acted equitably in modifying the dissolution decree to grant him physical care of the children.
