Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Jeanie Vaudt, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., and Ahlers and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, P.J. (10 pages)
Raymond Wilson appeals the modification of the parties’ dissolution decree granting Staesha Fenton, formerly Staesha Wilson, sole legal custody of their two minor children. OPINION HOLDS: We conclude Staesha established a material and substantial change in circumstances since entry of the dissolution decree warranting modification and Raymond has focused solely on his own interests, rather than the best interests of the children. We affirm the decision placing the children in Staesha’s sole legal custody. We decline to award Staesha appellate attorney fees.
