SARAH CHAPMAN v. CHRIS WADE

Posted by: David Lazar on May 21, 2026

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Marjorie A. Bristol, Goodlettsville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Sarah Chapman.

Attorneys 2: Kristen J. Johnson, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Chris Wade.

Judge(s): USMAN

The trial court entered a parenting plan setting parenting time and child support between Mother and Father. Mother appealed. Mother raises a due process challenge to the trial extending into the late evening of the last day. She also challenges the trial court’s analysis of the best interest factors, its allocation of parenting time, its designation of Father as the primary residential parent, its awarding to Father sole decision-making authority, and its denial of Mother’s motion to alter or amend. Father seeks attorney’s fees on appeal. We affirm the trial court’s ruling and award attorney’s fees.
