Ryan Bigg appeals the child support, spousal support, and attorney fees awarded to Rachael Bigg in their dissolution-of-marriage decree. OPINION HOLDS: On our de novo review of the record, we modify the dissolution decree to award Rachael transitional spousal support for eighteen months. We affirm the award of trial attorney fees to Rachael and deny her request for appellate attorney fees. The case is remanded to the district court for recalculation of child support.
