Description
OPINION {1} Both Mother and Father appeal from the district court's custody, timeshare, and child support order that arose from Father's motion to modify custody, timesharing, and support. The district court sealed the trial on the merits, but allowed a local television station to attend and televise the proceedings, while prohibiting the release of the recording. The court determined that there had been no material change in circumstances to warrant a change in legal and physical custody, but clarified timesharing and support responsibilities of the parents and ordered the parties to pay their own attorney fees. The court also ordered Father to pay Mother's share of the guardian ad litem's (GAL) fees and to deduct that amount from his support responsibilities. Mother appeals the rulings on child support and attorney fees; Father appeals the custody ruling. Both parents challenge different aspects of the court's rulings sealing the hearing but permitting television cameras in the courtroom. We affirm the court's custody ruling, but for the reasons that follow, we reverse and remand the support issues. In light of our rulings, we also reverse and remand the issue of attorney fees.
