Opinion Delivered June 3, 2015
CHARITY S. LOVAN (now RYDBERG) APPEAL FROM THE SEBASTIAN
APPELLANT COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT,
GREENWOOD DISTRICT
[NO. DR-04-41-G (III)]
V.
HONORABLE JIM D. SPEARS,
JUDGE
JOSHUA B. LOVAN
APPELLEE
SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM
ORDERED
WAYMOND M. BROWN, Judge
Appellant Charity Lovan (now Rydberg ) appeals the Sebastian County Circuit
Court’s order changing custody of B.L. and J.L. to their father, Joshua Lovan. She argues on
appeal that (1) the trial court abused its discretion by denying her motion for reconsideration,
and (2) the trial court erred by finding that a material change in circumstances existed and that
the best interests of the children were better served with appellee. We do not reach the
merits of appellant’s arguments due to deficiencies in the addendum.
Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(8)1 requires that the addendum to the appellant’s
brief contain copies of non-transcript documents in the record on appeal that are essential for
the appellate court to confirm its jurisdiction, understand the case, and decide the issues on
1
(2014).

appeal. Here, appellant’s addendum is missing page one of the divorce decree as well as any
document to support appellant’s contention that the trial court denied her motion for
reconsideration.2 We direct appellant to file a supplemental addendum within seven calendar
days of this opinion.3
We also note that page seventeen of appellant’s argument is missing. This, too, should
be provided to the court. We encourage counsel to review our rules to ensure that no other
deficiencies are present.
Supplemental addendum ordered.
ABRAMSON and GLOVER, JJ., agree.

There is a letter in the record dated August 20, 2014, from the court denying
appellant’s motion for reconsideration; however, that letter is not included in the
addendum as required by our rules.
