DONG SHEN v. NING JIN
UNREPORTED
Krauser, C.J., Nazarian, Eyler, James R. (Retired, Specially Assigned), JJ. PER CURIAM *This is an unreported opinion, and it may not be cited in any paper, brief, motion, or other document filed in this Court or any other Maryland Court as either precedent within the rule of stare decisis or as persuasive authority. Md. Rule 1-104.
Appellant, Dong Shen, appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court for Baltimore County granting Ning Jin, appellee, an absolute divorce and awarding her sole physical and legal custody of the parties' son. Appellant's only challenge is to the custody award, which he maintains was not in the best interest of the child. The court ruled on the custody issue, following a two-day hearing, after properly considering the factors set forth in Taylor v. Taylor, 306 Md. 290 (1986). We have thoroughly reviewed the record and hold that the court did not err in its factual findings nor abuse its discretion in awarding sole physical and legal custody to appellee (with liberal visitation rights to appellant).
JUDGMENT OF THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR BALTIMORE COUNTY AFFIRMED. COSTS TO BE PAID BY APPELLANT.
