Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Patrick A. McElyea, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Ahlers, P.J., and Chicchelly and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Buller, J. (12 pages)
A mother appeals from a modification ruling placing physical care of her child with the father. She challenges the district court’s weighing of the evidence and pertinent factors, contests an underlying juvenile‑court ruling, and seeks attorney fees. OPINION HOLDS: Based largely on the district court’s credibility findings and the mother’s failure to preserve error on her evidentiary complaints, we affirm and deny the mother’s request for attorney fees.
