In re the Marriage of S.M.J., T.I.J., and J.W.

Summary

The Montana Supreme Court affirmed the District Court’s reinstatement of an order denying J.W., the biological father, parenting rights and visitation with the child. The Court relied on its prior decision in Johnson I and concluded that the District Court did not abuse its discretion; the memorandum opinion is noncitable and nonprecedential.

Holdings

1. The District Court did not abuse its discretion in reinstating its original order denying J.W.'s request for parental rights and visitation because ample evidence supported that decision and nothing in the present record undermined the Supreme Court's prior analysis.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the District Court abused its discretion by reinstating its original order denying J.W. parental rights and visitation privileges after the Supreme Court's prior remand.

Disposition

affirmed
