Chris Schaeffer v. Amanda Patterson

Syllabus

Father appeals the trial court's decision allowing Mother to relocate with the parties' daughter from the Memphis area to Blytheville, Arkansas. Father also appeals the trial court's award of attorney's fees to Mother. Applying the amended version of Tennessee Code Annotated section 36-6-108 based on the parties' stipulation, we conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding that relocation was in the child's best interest. We also affirm the trial court's award of attorney's fees but decline to award attorney's fees on appeal.

Judges: Presiding Judge J. Steven Stafford
