Katie Venechuk n/k/a Katie Vandewalker v. Gary A. Landherr

Summary

The court held that the district court had authority to consider the mother's petition to modify the custody decree's school-district provision, even though she did not seek sole legal custody. Applying de novo review, the court nevertheless affirmed the denial of modification because remaining in the existing school district was in the child's best interests, and it vacated the contrary court of appeals decision.
