Date Published:

Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Woodbury County, Jeffrey A. Neary, Judge.  AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED.  Considered by Bower, C.J., Langholz, J., and Vogel, S.J.  Opinion by Bower, C.J.  (8 pages)

            Aaron Clark appeals property distribution and spousal support provisions of the decree dissolving his marriage to Rochelle Clark and challenges the court’s award of trial attorney fees to Rochelle.  OPINION HOLDS: We find no failure to do equity in the court’s division of the pension and retirement benefits.  We also affirm the award of spousal support but modify the amount to $700 per month.  The district court did not abuse its discretion when it awarded attorney fees, and we award Rochelle appellate attorney fees.  We affirm as modified.
