NEUMANN, Justice,
concurring specially.
I concur in the result. I write separately because I cannot agree that an opportunity to file affidavits the day before the respondent is directed to appear and show cause constitutes the “full hearing” mandated by the legislature for this hybrid “action.” NDCC § 14-07.1-02(4).
On the other hand, I fully agree with the majority that nothing in Rockwell’s argument *852suggests the evidence he sought to offer would have contradicted Sandbeek’s sworn testimony of threats and mistreatment. Excluding evidence of such doubtful relevance is not reversible error.
