Marriage of Stagner
This appeal arises out of nine years of highly contentious litigation, primarily over child custody, support and visitation of David Stagner and Mary Lou Stagners two children. David Stagner (father) has persistently sought to regain contact, visitation and custody of his children following dissolution of his marriage with Mary Lou Stagner (mother). Court conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying fathers section 473 motion since the orders and judgment were not void and it was too late to set them aside. In addition, the vexatious litigant order is sufficiently supported by the record. Mothers request for sanctions is denied on procedural grounds, as well as on the ground the appeal is not sufficiently frivolous to warrant this court to award sanctions on its own motion. The judgment is affirmed.
