Gordon v. Cheskin
Annotate this CaseAfter Father and Mother divorced, Mother maintained primary physical custody of the parties’ two daughters, and Father and Mother shared joint legal custody of the girls. Mother later filed a motion to modify the custody order. The trial court granted the motion and eliminated overnight visitation with Father, finding that the girls were inadequately fed after visits with Father, that Father failed to take one daughter’s asthma seriously, and that Father had been “convicted” of offensive touching. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the trial court’s finding that Father had been convicted of a crime was clear error, but the error was harmless; and (2) the trial court’s findings were sufficient to support the result in this case.
