a/k/a JENNIFER L. BARKER,

________________________________________________________________
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, David Remley, Judge.

care. AFFIRMED.

Considered by Mahan, P.J., and Miller and Vaitheswaran, JJ.

MAHAN, P.J.
Jennifer Weems appeals the district court’s ruling establishing physical
care. She argues (1) she is the better parent, (2) the district court did not have
good and compelling reasons to separate siblings, and (3) the district court failed
to consider the long-term best interests of the child.
We have reviewed the district court’s detailed and well-reasoned opinion
in conjunction with the issues raised in this appeal. We conclude the issues were
correctly decided by the district court, and we cannot significantly add further to a
discussion of those issues. We affirm the decision of the district court. Both
parties’ requests for payment of appellate attorney fees are denied.
AFFIRMED.
