IN RE THE MARRIAGE OF TONYA MARIE SHANNON AND GORDON K. SHANNON Upon the Petition of TONYA MARIE SHANNON, n/k/a TONYA MARIE SMITH, Petitioner-Appellant, v. And Concerning GORDON KEITH SHANNON III, Respondent-Appellee.

POTTERFIELD

Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Pottawattamie County, Kathleen A. Kilnoski, Judge.

Tonya Smith appeals the denial of modification to custody provisions of her dissolution decree. AFFIRMED.

Stephen C. Ebke of Porter, Tauke & Ebke, Council Bluffs, for appellant.

Suellen Overton of Overton Law Office, Council Bluffs, for appellee.

Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Potterfield and Bower, JJ. POTTERFIELD , J.

A stipulated decree of dissolution was filed in the divorce of Keith and Tonya Shannon, now known as Tonya Smith, in April 2001. At that time, both parties were awarded joint legal custody of their child with physical care awarded to Tonya. Custody was modified by agreement in 2010, transferring physical care to Keith. Tonya filed a petition to modify custody on January 5, 2012, which was denied. She now appeals, contending grounds for modification exist and that she is entitled to attorney fees.

Upon our de novo review of the record, we find the district court thoroughly and completely addressed each of the grounds raised on appeal. We agree with the court's well-reasoned findings and therefore affirm pursuant to Iowa Court Rule 21.29(1)(d) and (e).

We do not award appellate attorney fees. Costs on appeal are assessed to Tonya.

AFFIRMED.
