David Heileman v. Ariel Cahoon

Summary

The court held that the circuit court effectively eliminated joint custody by reducing the father's parenting time without finding both a material change in circumstances and that the modification served the children's best interests. The court also declined to reach the merits of the contempt challenge because sanctions had not yet been imposed, making the contempt ruling nonfinal and nonappealable. The judgment was reversed and remanded, and the intermediate appellate court's opinion was vacated.
