In Re Marriage of Dethrow

Court of Appeals of Iowa

Decided September 6, 1984No. 83-1452Published

1Opinion of the Court

SCHLEGEL, Judge.

Petitioner, Clarice Dethrow (now known as Clarice Sharp), appeals from the denial of her application for modification of the custody provisions of the decree dissolving the parties’ marriage. Clarice asserts that there has been a substantial change of circumstances since the decree which warrants modifying the decree by awarding her sole custody of the parties’ child, Amber, or at the least setting up a joint custody arrangement with her having physical care of the child. We affirm in part and modify in part.
