RANDALL CHARLES HARRELL v. CHASSITY NECOLE HARRELL

Posted by: Amelia Ferrell Knisely on Apr 5, 2016

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Melanie R. Bean, Lebanon, Tennessee, for the appellant, Chassity Necole Harrell.

Attorneys 2:

John L. Meadows, Lebanon, Tennessee, for the appellee, Randall Charles Harrell.

Judge(s): SWINEY

This appeal concerns a post-divorce modification of child custody. Randall Charles Harrell (?Father?) filed a petition against his ex-wife Chassity Necole Harrell (?Mother?) in the General Sessions Court for Wilson County (?the Trial Court?) to modify the permanent parenting plan concerning the parties‘ two minor children. Father sought to be designated primary residential parent based, in part, upon Mother‘s alleged drug abuse and instability. After a hearing, the Trial Court found a material change in circumstances, designated Father the primary residential parent, and entered a new parenting plan accordingly. Mother appeals to this Court, arguing, among other things, that the Trial Court erred in finding a material change of circumstances and in considering the unsworn testimony of the children. Finding no reversible error, we affirm the judgment of the Trial Court in its entirety.
