Fink v. Fink

The essential question posed in this appeal is whether the district court abused its discretion in awarding the primary custody of the eight-year-old daughter of the parties to the father. Incidental issues are presented with respect to the failure of the trial court to hold the father in contempt; the refusal of the trial court to permit the reopening of evidence for the purpose of impeaching an expert witness; and an abuse of the courts discretion in failing to award additional visitation privileges to the mother. We cannot discern any abuse of discretion by the district court in awarding custody, and the collateral issues are foreclosed from our consideration by our rule of appellate practice. We affirm the judgment entered by the district court.
