COURT OF APPEALS OF IOWA, June 27, 2007, Filed
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: Court erred in finding decretal court intended husband to pay debt owed to former father-in-law as decree was clear that parties relinquished right to litigate issues regarding "the disputed debt"; wife's application was thus barred by claim preclusion due to her concession in original decree to allow any specifics of the debt to remain "disputed."

COURT OF APPEALS OF IOWA, June 27, 2007, Filed

|||||
Overview: Court did not err in denying husband's request for joint legal custody of children in marital dissolution action where actions admitted to by the husband were sufficient to meet definition of domestic abuse assault in Iowa Code § 708.1(2); under Iowa Code § 598.41(2)(c), unrebutted history outweighed any other factor concerning awarding of custody.

Overview: Order awarding physical custody of parties' child to husband in a marital dissolution action was upheld where trial court was convinced that if wife was awarded physical care of the child, she would refuse to foster any meaningful relationship between the child and the husband; it was in the child's best interests pursuant to Iowa Code § 598.41(3).

COURT OF APPEALS OF IOWA, June 27, 2007, Filed
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: In a dissolution proceeding, joint physical care of the children was inappropriate because of the distance between the parties and the alleged domestic abuse the husband inflicted on the wife and children; the wife was properly granted physical care under Iowa Code § 598.41(3) because, inter alia, she had been the primary caretaker of the children.

Overview: An order adjudicating a child as a Child In Need of Assistance pursuant to Iowa Code § 232.2(6)(c)(2) was upheld where the record demonstrated a cycle of the mother's cooperation with the Iowa Department of Human Services (DHS) and her ability to alleviate immediate concerns, but only when she was compelled to do so.

COURT OF APPEALS OF IOWA, June 27, 2007, Filed
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: Termination of mother's parental rights was proper under Iowa Code § 232.116(1)(f) because children could not be returned to her custody, as she struggled with homelessness and substance abuse, suffered from physical maladies and mental health issues, and did not sufficiently comply with services. Termination was also in children's best interests.
