A.B.C. v. A.H.
Court:TCA
Attorneys:
Denise Terry Stapleton, Morristown, Tennessee, for Appellant A.B.C.
Jerrold L. Becker and Samuel W. Brown, Knoxville, Tennessee, for
Appellee A.H.
Elizabeth S. Smith, Knoxville, Tennessee, guardian ad litem for A.C.H.
Judge: LEE
First Paragraph:
This child custody case presents the following issues: (1) whether the
trial court erred in awarding the father custody of the parties' child
and (2) whether the trial court erred in ordering the father to pay
the mother's attorney fees. We hold that the trial court considered
the relevant statutory factors and that the evidence does not
preponderate against the trial court's award of custody to the father.
We hold that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in ordering
the father to pay the mother's attorney fees. Although not raised as
an issue on appeal, we note that the father did not request child
support from the mother and the trial court did not set child support.
We hold that the father did not have the right to waive child support.
Accordingly, we affirm the trial court's judgment regarding custody of
the child, affirm the award of attorney fees, and remand this cause to
the trial court for determination of the mother's child support
obligation to the father.

Dwayne Cook, Edgefield, South Carolina, pro se.
Paul G. Summers, Attorney General & Reporter; Jennifer L. Bledsoe,
Assistant Attorney General; Jerry N. Estes, District Attorney General,

Judge: OGLE
First Paragraph:
The petitioner, Dwayne Cook, appeals the trial court's denial of his
motion to reconsider the denial of his request to set aside his guilty
plea and his alternative petition for writ of error coram nobis. The
State has filed a motion requesting that this Court affirm the trial
court's action pursuant to Rule 20, Rules of the Court of Criminal
Appeals. The trial court properly denied relief as the pleadings were
untimely filed and without merit. Accordingly, the judgment of the
trial court is affirmed.
