Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Pottawattamie County, James S. Heckerman, Judge. AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED ON APPEAL; AFFIRMED ON CROSS-APPEAL. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Schumacher and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (14 pages)
Clinton Fichter appeals the economic provisions of the parties’ dissolution decree and Monica Fichter cross-appeals on the issue of spousal support. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the decree on the issues of property division, child support, and spousal support. We eliminate the requirement on future modifications by Clinton concerning his income. And we deny Monica’s request for appellate attorney fees. Accordingly, we affirm the appeal as modified and affirm on the cross-appeal.
