Kenneth M. Osterkamp, Appellant/cross-Appellee v. Kattaryna Stiles, Appellee/cross-Appellant

Summary

The court affirmed the award of sole legal and physical custody to the adoptive mother, holding that the former foster parent did not establish by clear and convincing evidence that denying him custody would clearly harm the child. It also denied the requested third-party visitation because he did not prove by clear and convincing evidence that visitation over the fit parent's objection was plainly contrary to the child's best interests. The court affirmed the property and interim attorney-fee rulings but held that the trial court erred by issuing a writ of assistance without notice and an opportunity to be heard.
