Disposition

Reasons

  • The decision was made by a panel consisting of Chief Judge J. Miles Hanisee, Judge Kristina Bogardus, and Judge Jacqueline R. Medina, who concurred in the judgment. The Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's decision, finding that the Respondent failed to provide a sufficient summary of evidence or discuss the parties' respective needs or the Husband's earning capacity, which are necessary to assess the propriety of spousal support. Additionally, the Respondent did not adequately address the alleged evidentiary error regarding the exclusion of expert testimony. Without these explanations, the Court of Appeals could not conclude that the district court abused its discretion in its rulings (paras 1-5).
