In Re the Marriage of Johnson

Supreme Court of Iowa

1Opinion of the Court

WIGGINS, Justice.

In this appeal, we must decide if medical support, in the form of health insurance payments, constitutes modifiable spousal support or is part of the unmodifiable property settlement. Because we find medical support constitutes spousal support payments and is modifiable, we vacate the court of appeals’ decision and reverse that part of the district court’s judgment holding otherwise. Additionally, we affirm the district court’s denial of attorney fees. Accordingly, we remand the case to the district court to enter a judgment consistent with this decision.

I. Standard of Review.
