Katherine Mae Pruitt v. Travis Pruitt

Syllabus

Appellant appeals the trial court's denial of his motion to set aside a final judgment obligating him to pay child support. The record shows that Appellant voluntarily executed a document placing his name on the child's birth certificate and thereafter entered into a marital dissolution agreement and parenting plan obligating him to pay child support with full knowledge that he was not the biological parent of the child. Because Appellant has failed to present sufficient evidence of a ground for relief under Rule 60.02 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure, we affirm the decision of the trial court to deny Appellant's request to set aside the judgment. We reverse, however, the trial court's award of attorney's fees based on the parties' marital dissolution agreement.
