518 N.W.2d 376 (1994)

In Re Marriage of Gary Michael SMILEY and Debra Ann Smiley. Upon the Petition of Gary Michael Smiley, Appellant, And Concerning Debra Ann Smiley n/k/a Debra Ann Lamb, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Iowa.

Rehearing Denied July 25, 1994.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael J. Winter, Council Bluffs, for appellant.

John M. Trewet and Richard Howard, Atlantic, for appellee.

Considered by McGIVERIN, C.J., and CARTER, LAVORATO, SNELL, and TERNUS, JJ.


McGIVERIN, Chief Justice.

The main question here is whether the district court properly modified the custody provisions in a dissolution of marriage decree. We award physical care of three children to their father. Thus, we vacate the decision of the court of appeals, affirm the district court judgment in part and reverse it in part, and remand for further proceedings.

I. Background facts and proceedings.
