Jensen v. Jensen

Supreme Court of Nebraska
May 7, 1982
319 N.W.2d 75 (Neb. 1982)

Opinion

No. 81-617.

Filed May 7, 1982.

Appeal from the District Court for Platte County: JOHN C. WHITEHEAD, Judge. Affirmed.

R. Steven Geshell of Robak Geshell, for appellant.

Mark M. Sipple of Luckey, Sipple Hansen, for appellee.

Heard before KRIVOSHA, C.J., BOSLAUGH, McCOWN, CLINTON, WHITE, HASTINGS, and CAPORALE, JJ.


The instant appeal involves a domestic relations matter. The sole issue on appeal is whether the trial court abused its discretion in permitting the custodial parent to move the children outside of the state of Nebraska. The general rule in cases where a custodial parent wishes to leave the jurisdiction for any legitimate reason is that the minor children will be allowed to accompany the custodial parent if the court finds it to be in the best interests of the children to continue to live with that parent. Jafari v. Jafari, 204 Neb. 622, 284 N.W.2d 554 (1979).

The court, having reviewed the record in this case de novo, agrees with the result reached by the trial court. The judgment is affirmed.

AFFIRMED.
