Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Madison County, The Honorable Terry Rickers, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Badding and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Sandy, J. (8 pages)

            Katie Dekker appeals the district court’s ruling modifying the dissolution decree between her and Bradley Witt.

OPINION HOLDS: On our de novo review, we conclude the district court did equity in determining that a shared physical care arrangement serves the best interests of the children.
