Modification of Visitation
“Generally,
the degree of change required to modify the
visitation provisions of a dissolution decree is
less extensive than what is required to modify the
custodial provisions. To modify visitation
privileges, the party seeking modification must only
show there has been a change of circumstances, not a
substantial change of circumstances, since the entry
of the initial dissolution decree”. See
Donovan v. Donovan, 212 N.W. 2d. 451, 453 (Iowa
1973); Lou v. Clements, 516 N.W. 2d. 905, 906
(Iowa Ct. App. 1994); In re Marriage of Wersinger,
577 N.W. 2d. 866, 868 (Iowa Ct. App. 1998); In re
Marriage of Thielges, 623 N.W. 2d. 232, 235
