To determine whether the district court erred, we must review the movant's affidavits to see if she made out a prima facie case for modification of custody. A careful review of mother's affidavits reveal that her uncorroborated allegations of father's abuse are based primarily on incidents occurring during the marriage. The district court can modify child custody only upon the basis of facts that have arisen since the prior order or that were unknown to the court at the time of the prior order. Moreover, mother failed to show facts that, if true, would establish that the children's present environment posed a significant degree of danger to their health or development. We conclude that the district court did not err in finding that mother failed to make out a prima facie case for modification of custody.
Mother challenges the amount of visitation granted by the district court.
The trial court has broad discretion to determine what is in the best interests of the child in the area of visitation and its determination will not be overturned absent an abuse of discretion. The district court adopted this language in the judgment. Mother claims that the parties intended that she receive a significant quantity of visitation, practically daily contact with the children. Both parties requested a permanent visitation schedule. The district court denied mother's request to divide the winter and spring school holidays and award a total of six weeks visitation during the summer break.
