Little v. Wallace
Annotate this CaseA divorce judgment was entered providing for the shared primary residence of Mother and Father’s child. The district court subsequently modified the judgment, which created a more complicated schedule of contact. Due to the frequent transitions between parental homes and tensions between her parents, the child became depressed. By the time she was almost eight years old, the child had a serious breakdown. While Mother’s and Father’s post-divorce motions were pending, the court ordered a less complex schedule. At the conclusion of the trial on the motions, the district court ordered that a similar schedule become part of the parties’ modified divorce judgment. The resulting judgment established primary residence of the child with Mother. Father appealed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the record supported the court’s determination that establishing primary residence with Mother and modifying the schedule of contact was in the child’s best interest.
