Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Greene County, Adria Kester, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Greer and Chicchelly, JJ.  Opinion by Chicchelly, J.  (7 pages)

            Shelly Schroeder appeals the amount of spousal support and attorney fees awarded in the decree dissolving her marriage to Aaron Schroeder.  OPINION HOLDS: Because the spousal support award balances Shelly’s needs and Aaron’s ability to pay and the district court exercised its discretion in only awarding Shelly part of her trial attorney fees, we affirm.  We decline to award appellate attorney fees.
