IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF IOWA No. 7-654 / 07-0077 Filed September 19, 2007

Upon the Petition of JAMES R. JOHNSON, Petitioner-Appellee, And Concerning JENNIFER L. WEEMS a/k/a JENNIFER L. BARKER, Respondent-Appellant. ________________________________________________________________

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

Jennifer Weems appeals the district court's ruling establishing physical care. AFFIRMED.

Sheree Smith, Cedar Rapids, for appellant.

Karla Wolff, Cedar Rapids, for appellee.

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

2 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.
