Lee v. Gebhardt

This is an appeal from an order of the district court, Gallatin County, awarding custody of minor children to Bonnie Gebhardt Lee and restricting the visitation rights of Gary Gebhardt.

Gary and Bonnie Gebhardt were married July 2, 1965. Two children were the issue of this marriage: Shawn, age 8 and Shannon, age 10, at the time of the October 22, 1976, modification. Bonnie filed an action for divorce on September 8, 1972. The decree was entered January 8, 1973, providing that custody of the children be awarded to her, subject to “reasonable rights of visitation” by their father, Gary.
