A-23-0093, Susan Ewing (Appellee) v. Joseph Evans (Appellant)
Lancaster County District Court, Judge Lori A. Maret
Attorney for Appellant: Mona L. Burton (Anderson, Creager & Wittstruck, P.C., L.L.O.)
Attorney for Appellee: Tara L. Gardner-Williams & Joel Bacon (Keating, O’Gara, Nedved & Peter, P.C., L.L.O.)
Civil Action: Child Custody Modification, Child Support Modification, Attorney Fees
Action Taken by Trial Court: The district court overruled Evans’ complaint to modify the child custody order from 2015 and enjoined Evans from taking the minor child into Native American sweat lodges. The district court amended Evans’ child support payments after imputing income beyond his Veterans’ Affairs disability benefits. It also awarded attorneys fees to Ewing.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: Evans assigns the district court abused its discretion (1) in not sustaining his request to modify custody, (2) by denying his request to take the child to Native American sweat lodges, (3) by imputing income beyond his VA benefits, and (4) in awarding Ewing attorney fees.
