Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dickinson County, Shane Mayer, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Heard by Ahlers, P.J., and Chicchelly and Buller, JJ.  Opinion by Ahlers, P.J.  (7 pages)

            A mother appeals the physical-care determination made in a custodial decree, which placed physical care of her children with the children’s father.  The father requests appellate attorney fees.  OPINION HOLDS: On our review of the record and deferring to the district court’s credibility findings, we conclude that the children’s interests are best served by placing their physical care with their father.  We affirm the district court’s physical-care determination.  We do not award the father appellate attorney fees.
