Civil Action: Modification of Dissolution Decree
Action Taken by Trial Court: The district court found that a material change of circumstances existed to modify the parties’ dissolution decree. The court divided final decision making authority between the parties, expanded the appellee’s parenting time and ordered the appellant not to move the children from Sarpy County or Cass County without permission of the court or mutual agreement of the parties; calculated child support and awarded the appellee an abatement; and awarded the appellee $500 in attorney fees.
