Marriage of: Rehbein and Paddock

The Montana Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s decree, holding that the trial court did not err in amending the pleadings to consider a third‑party parental interest and did not err in awarding that interest to Paddock under § 40‑4‑228, MCA. The Court applied Rule 15(b)(2) and found the district court’s factual findings supported by substantial evidence.
