Marriage of Hernandez
This is an appeal from the denial of a motion in a dissolution of marriage action that has been going on for 10 years. David S. Hernandez (husband) and Sherri L. Hernandez (wife) began divorce proceedings in 2001. There have been many proceedings since the initial filing, including enforcement actions. We believe the divorce was final and the marital estate was divided by 2004. Since then, husband has made numerous attempts to relitigate issues already determined. He is appealing the denial of his most recent motion.
Husband, who is representing himself, asks us to review everything that has occurred in the family court, including new evidence that he is presenting to us, make new credibility findings and factual determinations, and issue a new judgment. This we cannot do. Our role is very limited. We review only what occurred in the family court to determine if there is any legal error that affected the outcome of the case. We make no credibility or factual findings. Our review is limited to those decisions of the family court from which a timely appeal is taken.
Husband also has made our task very difficult by providing almost no record of the family court proceedings. For example, the record does not contain the motion the family law court denied. From the record before us, we cannot even determine whether this appeal is timely.
For these reasons, we will affirm the order from which husband appeals.
