RICHTER V. RICHTER 625 N.W.2d 490 (2001) CASE BRIEF

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.
