Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Christopher A, Gallatin, Tennessee, appellant, pro se.

Attorneys 2: Thomas Jay Martin, Jr. and Kylene Ross, Gallatin, Tennessee, for the appellees, Stacy A. and Lisa R.

Judge(s): ARMSTRONG

Father appeals the trial court’s order changing his children’s surnames from his surname to another family name. Due to the deficiencies in Appellant’s brief, we do not address four of his stated issues. As to his final issue, because the appellate record contains no transcript or statement of the evidence as required by the Tennessee Rules of Appellate Procedure, we have no evidence to review. Accordingly, we must presume that the evidence presented at the final hearing supports the trial court’s conclusion that the name change was in the children’s best interests. We affirm.
