Sigal v. Sigal
Annotate this CaseThe court granted wife's non-frivolous application for discretionary appeal of the parties' final judgment of divorce. Wife contended, inter alia, that the trial court abused its discretion by entering its decree nunc pro tunc so as to eliminate a "transition period" from supervised to unsupervised visitation that the trial court had orally announced it was providing for the welfare of the couple's children. The court held that, under the unique circumstances of the case, the parties' minor children qualified here as innocent third parties whose interests were adversely affected by the entry of the visitation provision nunc pro tunc because that action eliminated a provision expressly meant for the children's best welfare. Accordingly, the court held that the trial court abused its discretion when it made the visitation period nunc pro tunc to April 13, 2010. The court held that it was unnecessary to address wife's remaining enumerations of error.
