RICHTER V. RICHTER
625 N.W.2d 490 (2001)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Kevin Richter (H) appealed from a decision dissolving the parties'
marriage and denying H's post-trial motion in that state statutes allowed 'divorce on
demand' and interfered with his constitutional right to contract.
FACTS: The parties married in 1983 and W petitioned to dissolve the marriage in September
1999. H opposed W's attempts. to H moved to dismiss the proceeding, alleging, among other
things, that (a) there was no irretrievable breakdown of the marriage; (b) marriage is a
contract; and (c) the statutes allowing dissolution of a marriage infringed on the
constitutional right to contract. At the final May 8 hearing, H asked for a continuance, the
district court denied the request, H withdrew from the courtroom, and the district court
took testimony from W. An amended judgment dissolving the parties' marriage was entered on
May 26. H appealed.
