Shively v. Shively

Summary

The court reversed and remanded the divorce judgment because the district court did not adequately explain its decisions awarding primary residential responsibility, limiting parenting time, and awarding the marital home. The findings concerning the best-interest factors were internally inconsistent, the court did not address requested equal residential responsibility or extended summer parenting time, and it did not explain how the property-distribution factors supported awarding the inherited family farmstead to the other spouse. The remand requires reconsideration and sufficiently specific findings supporting each decision.
