Supreme Court of Iowa
In re the marriage of Johnathon Sprague and Lanora Sprague
April 3, 2026
Summary
The court vacated the court of appeals decision and affirmed the district court’s enforcement of the parties’ settlement agreement. It treated the enforcement proceeding as a bench trial rather than a summary-judgment proceeding and held that Johnathon could not establish error because he failed to provide a record of the unreported hearing. The court also awarded Lanora $2,678 in appellate attorney fees because she had to defend the district court’s ruling in an appeal that could not be reviewed on the merits.
