MCDONALD, J.
Kristofor Keppy appeals from the decree of dissolution of marriage
entered November 14, 2013. On appeal, Kristofor contends the district court
erred in not awarding the parties joint physical care of the parties’ two children,
erred in awarding Angela Keppy primary care of the parties’ children, and abused
its discretion in awarding Angela attorney’s fees. We review the district court’s
findings and conclusions de novo. See In re Marriage of Brown, 776 N.W.2d
644, 647 (Iowa 2009) (applying de novo review). “We review a district court’s
decision on attorney fees for abuse of discretion.” In re Marriage of Michael, 839
N.W.2d 630, 635 (Iowa 2013).
This appeal presents only the application of well settled rules of law to a
recurring fact situation and a full opinion would not augment or clarify existing
case law. We conclude the district court’s findings are supported by the record
and its conclusions are without error. We adopt the district court’s findings and
conclusions as our own. We also conclude the district court did not abuse its
discretion in awarding Angela attorney’s fees.
The judgment of the district court is affirmed without further opinion. See
Iowa Ct. R. 21.29(1)(a), (d), and (e). Court costs and fees shall be assessed to
Kristofor. Each party shall be responsible for their respective attorney fees.
AFFIRMED.
