Benjamin Boatman v. Karuna Chaudhary Odziana

Syllabus

A mother appeals the trial court's decision in this post-divorce modification action. We find no error in the trial court's decision to change the residential parenting schedule and to make the father the primary residential parent. We further find no error in the trial court's ruling making the father the sole decision-maker on non-emergency medical care and educational matters. However, we reverse the trial court's ruling that neither parent could obtain a passport for the children or take them out of the country. Further, we vacate and remand the trial court's decision on the residential parenting schedule for failure to make a specific provision for holiday parenting time.

Judges: Judge Andy D. Bennett
