This opinion will be unpublished and may not be cited except as provided by Minn. Stat. Appellant John Patrick Meyer appeals from a judgment and decree dissolving the parties' marriage. The district court has broad discretion in determining custody issues between parties. We will not reverse a custody determination absent a showing that the district court's findings were clearly erroneous or that the district court abused its discretion by improperly applying the law.
Appellate courts review the evidence in the light most favorable to the district court's findings.
Also, we defer to the district court's credibility determinations. Appellant contends that the evidence does not support the district court's findings and that its custody determination is not in the child's best interests. Contrary to appellant's contention, however, the district court did not abuse its discretion in this case and the record supports the district court's findings. The district court heard evidence from 15 different witnesses over the course of a two-day custody hearing. The district court's findings are consistent with this summary of the testimony.
