Wood v. DeHahn

After their divorce, DeHahn (plaintiff), a Mormon, was awarded sole legal custody and the authority to choose their children's religion, while Wood (defendant), a Catholic, was required to act consistently with that choice. Wood took the children to Catholic services three times a year — Christmas, Easter, and Mother's Day — and DeHahn moved to restrict those visits, believing they conflicted with her religious choice for the children. The trial court found Wood's conduct not inconsistent with DeHahn's choice and denied the motion.

Whether a custodial parent has the right to determine whether the actions of a noncustodial parent are inconsistent with the custodial parent's choice of religion.
