Syllabus

The domestic relations court did not err by denying appellant's request to designate her as residential parent and sole legal custodian of her two children where appellant failed to provide evidence that any change that may have occurred resulted in a material and adverse effect to the children. Appellant also failed to provide evidence that it was in the children's best interests to designate appellant as the children's residential parent and sole legal custodian. The domestic relations court erred, however, by finding it could not grant appellant's motion for contempt because it lacked the authority to grant appellant's requested relief. The fact that the domestic relations court could not grant appellant's requested relief should not serve as an impediment to a contempt finding.
