Description
VOGEL, Justice. This is an appeal from a judgment in a divorce case. The district court granted a divorce to both parties on the ground of
irreconcilable differences. After two hearings, at one of which a written report of a social worker containing hearsay information
from third parties was received in evidence, the court ordered that the children of the parties should reside in the family
home, and that the parents should alternate, month by month, in residing with them and having custody of them. (This latter
order was stayed pending the outcome of the appeal. The children are in the custody of the wife.) The wife appeals, claiming
reversible error in four respects: (1) the admission into evidence, over objection, of hearsay matter in the report of the
social worker; (2) in ordering the custody to be changed monthly; (3) in limiting each party to two witnesses to rebut the
report of the social worker; and (4) in denying the attorneys for the parties an opportunity to make final arguments to the
court. We reverse and remand because of the cumulative effect of several errors, some of which would be insufficient, standing
alone, to require reversal.
