Supreme Court of Iowa

Katie Venechuk n/k/a Katie Vandewalker v. Gary A. Landherr

April 18, 2025

Summary

The court held that a district court has authority to modify a custody decree's school-district provision without requiring a request for sole legal custody. Because the district court properly considered the child's best interests and found that changing school districts was not warranted, the court vacated the court of appeals decision and affirmed the district court's order denying modification.
