Haskell v. Haskell
Annotate this CaseIn this divorce action, Husband appealed from the divorce judgment and the judgment denying his motions for a new trial and for relief from the divorce judgment, arguing (1) the district court should have conducted a new trial because he did not attend the final hearing that resulted in the divorce judgment, and (2) the evidence did was not sufficient to demonstrate his ability to pay spousal support in the amount of $6,000 per month. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the two essential elements of due process of law - notice and the opportunity to be heard - were provided in relation to the final hearing, though Husband elected not to heed the notices supplied to him and failed to take advantage of any of his opportunities to be heard; and (2) the court’s award of support was within the bounds of reasonableness.
