Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: James Yeiser Ross, Sr., Waynesboro, Tennessee, for the appellant, Brittni Gray Haggard.

Attorneys 2: Cory Shaun Hancock, Jackson, Tennessee, for the appellee, Joe Michael Carroll.

Judge(s): ARMSTRONG

Appellee filed a petition to modify parenting time and child support, and Appellant filed a countermotion and a Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 10B motion for recusal of the trial judge. The trial court did not enter an order on Appellant’s motion for recusal, and there was no order transferring the case to another judge by interchange. The new judge made substantive rulings, and Appellant filed a motion to alter or amend asserting that the judge lacked subject-matter jurisdiction over the case because the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rules 11 and 10B were not met. We agree. Vacated and remanded.
