S-19-0520, S-19-0840 Connie S. Yori v. Kirk P. Helms (Appellant)
Lancaster County District Court, Judge John A. Colborn
Attorneys: Gregory D. Barton (Attorney for Appellant); Amie Martinez and Megan Zobel, (Anderson, Creager & Wittstruck, for Appellee)
Civil: Contempt of divorce decree/parenting plan
Proceedings Below: The district court found Appellant in contempt for violating the parties’ dissolution decree. Appellant was sentenced to a period of imprisonment, a purge plan was set, and the existing decree and parenting plan was modified.
Issues on Appeal: Whether the district court erred in 1) modifying the transportation provisions of the parenting plan; 2) banning Appellant from attending his son’s athletic and piano practices; 3) modifying the “final say” provision of the parenting plan; and 4) making other modifications to the parenting plan that were not reasonably necessary to enforce Appellee’s rights relating to parenting time, visitation, or other access.
