Marriage of Svendsen
In this marital dissolution action, the court ordered temporary custody of the parties' two minor children, Emily, who was 15 at the time of the hearing, and Lukas, who was 10 at the time of the hearing, to their father, Eric Svendsen, with an 82 percent visitation share to father. The court also made orders for spousal support and child support.
Ann C. Svendsen appeals that ruling, asserting the court erred in accepting the recommendation of Family Court Services as to custody because it was based upon a "lack of evidence" and "misinterpreted evidence." Eric contends the temporary custody order is not an appealable order.
For reasons we shall explain, we dismiss this appeal because an interim custody determination is not an appealable order.
