Grant v. Hamm
Annotate this CaseJessica Hamm appealed a judgment of the district court awarding sole parental rights and responsibilities of the parties' daughter to Budd Grant. Hamm argued that the court abused its discretion by relying largely on its determination that she willfully misused the protection from abuse process to the exclusion of other best interest factors and without making adequate findings. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court (1) did no err in finding that Hamm willfully misused the protection from abuse process; (2) properly considered several of the best interest factors; and (3) did not err or abuse its discretion in its ultimate award of sole parental rights and responsibilities to Grant with limited rights of contact awarded to Hamm.
