Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Lisa Z. Bowman, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellant, Emily Brooke Sullivan.

Attorneys 2: Jillyn M. O’Shaughnessy and Lawson Konvalinka, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellee, Justin Rouse.

Judge(s): MCBRAYER

A mother appealed a juvenile court’s modification of the permanent parenting plan for her daughter. Once briefing was complete and the case was submitted for decision, the mother voluntarily dismissed her appeal, leaving only the father’s request for an award of attorney’s fees incurred on appeal under Tennessee Code Annotated § 36-5-103(c). We grant the father’s request and remand for a determination of the amount of reasonable fees incurred.
