Oral Argument

Highlight
Interlocutory orders in an action are merged into the final judgment and may be reviewed on appeal of that judgment. A final judgment supersedes an interim order’s parenting provisions, which are by nature temporary.
A district court must award primary residential responsibility in light of the child’s best interests, considering all the relevant statutory best-interest factors. A court’s decisions on residential responsibility and parenting time present findings of fact, which will not be reversed unless clearly erroneous.
A district court clearly errs in granting parenting time subject to a minor child’s right to decide whether to allow that parenting time.
A decision whether to admit or exclude evidence will not be reversed unless the district court abused its discretion.
The district court has broad discretion in making contempt decisions.
