State v. Thompson

Summary

The Idaho Supreme Court reversed the district court’s amendment of a no‑contact order that barred Douglas Shane Thompson from any contact with his son, finding the lower court abused its discretion because it offered no evidence that the child was a current or future victim of domestic violence. The Court held the amendment was not supported by substantial and competent evidence and therefore was not reached by an exercise of reason. The constitutional claim regarding Thompson’s parental‑rights was left undecided because it was not properly preserved.
