In the Matter of the Marriage of
HALLECK RICHARDSON,
‘Appellee,
and
CLAUDINE DOMBROWSKI,
Appellant:
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appeal from Shawnee District Court; JAMES P. BUCHELE and RICHARD
ANDERSON, judges. Opinion filed June 30, 2000. Affirmed.
Rebecca A. King, of Riling, Burkhead & Nitcher, Chtd., of Lawrence, for the
appellant.
No appearance by the appellee.
Before GREEN, P.J., LEWIS, J., and ROBERT J. FLEMING, District Judge,
assigned.
Per Curiam: Claudine Dombrowski appeals from an order entered by the
district court in 1995 and affirmed by this court in 1998. (In re Marriage of
Richardson, No. 80,304, unpublished opinion filed October 23, 1998.) Halleck
Richardson requested summary disposition of this appeal pursuant to SupremeCourt Rule 7.041 (1999 Kan Ct. R. Annot. 46). Dombrowski filed a reply to
Richardson’s request, and he filed a motion to strike the reply. In deciding this
appeal, we have considered all of the parties’ pleadings. We note that Richardson
did not file a brief in this appeal.
Dombrowski’s appeal is totally without merit. In the 1998 decision, we
considered, among other things, whether the trial court's decree requiring
Dombrowski to move back to Topeka or lose joint custody of her minor child
violated her constitutional rights. We decided that issue by affirming the trial
court's ruling that Dombrowski was required to relocate to Topeka in the best
interests of the child.
This appeal challenges the district court's order enforcing our decision in the
prior appeal. Dombrowski continues to resist the trial court’s order. She now
argues that because of the passage of time, that order should be vacated. We do not
agree.
In the earlier appeal, we considered the best interests of the child. We
conclude on this occasion that the passage of time during which Dombrowski has
continued to defy the court’s orders does not constitute a material change of
circumstances. Our decision in case No. 80,304 is dispositive of this appeal.
Inasmuch as our prior decision is dispositive of this appeal, we grant Richardson's
motion for summary disposition, and we affirm the decision of the trial court in
this case pursuant to Rule 7.041 (1999 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 46).
Affirmed.
