Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Patrick A. McElyea, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Tabor, C.J., and Ahlers and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Sandy, J. (15 pages)
Nicole Monson appeals the district court’s dismissal of her petition to modify the child custody provisions of the decree dissolving her marriage to Matthew Young, arguing the court erred in (1) excluding and refusing to consider evidence arising prior to the entry of the decree; and (2) dismissing her petition as lacking sufficient evidence of a substantial change in circumstances. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm, finding the district court did not abuse its discretion and properly dismissed Monson’s petition.
