• determining that allegations of mutual abusive behavior juxtaposed against the parties’ agreement for joint legal custody factored into the consideration of awarding physical care
• stating that section 598.41(2)(c)’s intended purpose is “to protect victims from their aggressors,” so it should not be used by either party to gain an advantage at trial when the parents “are mutually aggressive, both verbally and physically”
• “The denial by one parent of a child’s opportunity to have meaningful contact with the other parent is a significant factor in determining the custody or physical care arrangement.”
