1Opinion of the CourtDana, J.

[¶ 1] Lavon Ames (Lavon) appeals from the judgment of the District Court (Rock-land, Worth, J.) denying his motion to hold Crystal Ames (Crystal) in contempt and for enforcement of the child visitation provisions of their divorce judgment. Lavon also challenges the court’s increase in his child support obligation. Lavon contends that the District Court improperly admitted hearsay and unfairly prejudicial evidence, improperly applied the burden of proof in the contempt proceeding, and improperly increased his child support obligation. We disagree and affirm the judgment.
