Domestic Relations: Child Custody-Sanctions
Staff Report//June 3, 2024//
Where a mother involved in a dissolution challenged the judgment awarding custody to the father and establishing a parenting plan and child support, the trial court had the statutory authority to adjudicate the child’s custody as well as to appoint a guardian ad litem, and the court did not abuse its discretion in modifying the sanctions order to strike the mother’s paternity pleadings and in denying the continuance request.
Judgment is affirmed.
