Kari Lynn Bristol v. Geoffrey M. Lipnevicius

Syllabus

Geoffrey M. Lipnevicius (Father) appeals the family court's order dismissing as moot his counterclaim for attorney's fees made in response to Kari Bristol's (Mother's) action for modification of visitation, his four pending contempt actions, and his request to register an August 2018 foreign order for enforcement. Father argues the family court erred by finding these issues were rendered moot on the ground that the child who was the subject of the underlying modification action turned eighteen before the court was able to hold a final hearing on the modification and contempt actions. We affirm in part and reverse and remand in part.
