Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Andrew E. Bateman, Athens, Tennessee, for the appellant, Velena Maria Ramirez Stierle.

Attorneys 2: Leah E. Smith, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellee, Laz Ramirez Vallvey.

Court Appealed: FRIERSON

In this post-divorce action, the parents filed cross-petitions to modify the agreed permanent parenting plan concerning their minor child. Following a hearing, the trial court entered an order determining that a material change in circumstance had occurred and that modification of the parenting plan was in the child’s best interest. The trial court changed the designation of primary residential parent from mother to father and adopted a new permanent parenting plan, which granted 237 days with the child to the father and 128 days to the mother annually. The mother has appealed. Discerning no reversible error, we affirm. We deny the father’s request for an award of attorney’s fees on appeal.
