State v. Maher

Summary

The court held that Maher’s sentence was not illegal because it remained within statutory limits and was not based on an impermissible factor. It nevertheless reversed because the district court abused its discretion by imposing a total prohibition on contact with Maher’s former wife without providing a way for him to arrange parenting time or explaining why no such method was allowed. The case was remanded for resentencing and modification of the contact-prohibition order.
