Syllabus

On reconsideration, the domestic relations court did not commit reversible err by overruling appellant's objection to a magistrate's decision barring him from cross-examining appellee at one final divorce hearing about matters that appellee had previously testified to at the final divorce hearing held over a year prior given that any additional questions appellant could have asked appellee about the testimony and evidence she provided at that final divorce hearing would not have added any meaningful substance to the proceedings, thereby rendering any error to be, at worst, harmless. This is necessarily the case when considering appellant was precluded from offering any of his own exhibits or calling any of his own witnesses (other than himself) to contradict the testimony and evidence that appellee had presented as part of her case-in-chief.
