CODIE LYNN ANDERSON v. LEAH RAE MARSHALL

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Dec 19, 2024

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: W. Lewis Jenkins, Jr., and Caitlyn Clendenin, Dyersburg, Tennessee, for the appellant, Leah Rae Marshall.

Attorneys 2: Matthew W. Willis, Dyersburg, Tennessee, for the appellee, Codie Lynn Anderson.

Court Appealed: GOLDIN

This appeal concerns the change of custody and the relocation of a parent, as well as an evidentiary issue concerning the denial of the admission of certain psychiatric records. Because the mother failed to provide an offer of proof in connection with the juvenile court’s ruling concerning the inadmissibility of the psychiatric records, we conclude that this evidentiary issue was not properly preserved for appellate review. Regarding the remaining issues, the juvenile court determined that a material change in circumstances had occurred and modified the parenting plan by designating the father as the primary residential parent and providing the father with the majority of the parenting time. Because we conclude that the juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in modifying the parenting plan, we affirm the juvenile court’s modification. Furthermore, as discussed herein, we affirm the juvenile court’s decision permitting the father to relocate.
