Overview: Where a father had trouble controlling his anger, he failed to visit with another child, and the mother was more supportive of the child visiting the father, a district court did not err by awarding a mother physical custody since that was in the best interest of the child under Iowa Code § 598.41(3).

Overview: Although a district court was required to consider the tax consequences of a property distribution requiring a large equalization payment under Iowa Code § 598.21(1)(j), this was not necessary where the liquidation of assets was not certain; the evidence showed that a former husband could have borrowed the money from his parents.

Overview: Father's overtime and bonus pay was excluded from his net monthly income for purposes of modifying child support under Iowa Code § 598.21C(2)(a) because an incentive bonus based on company performance was speculative, a perfect attendance incentive could have been lost at any time, and the father had only been employed there for a short time.
