Appeals court rules on evidentiary hearings in custody cases
Kansas Court of Appeals holds district courts must hold an evidentiary hearing before ruling on a case manager’s recommendations in contested custody matters. The ruling stems from a Douglas County appeal over a custody change from mother to father. Judge Karen Arnold-Burger notes due process requires weighing disputed or unsourced facts before finalizing recommendations. The appeal involved former spouses Jeffrey Hutchinson and Karen Wray, with case manager Cheryl Powers cited. The decision may increase docket activity but improves factual scrutiny in best interest determinations.
