Lloyd Winfred Carden, Jr., v. Amy Malissa Carden

This appeal involves the custody and support of two children under twelve years of age. Both parents sought a divorce and requested custody of the children. Following a bench trial, the Chancery Court for Coffee County granted the divorce to the father, awarded him custody of the children, and directed the mother to pay child support. Both parents have appealed. The mother takes issue with awarding custody to the father; while the father challenges the amount of the child support award. We have determined that the evidence does not preponderate against awarding custody of the children to the father but that the trial court should not have reduced the amount of the mother’s child support obligation by the mother’s cost of providing the children’s medical insurance. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment as modified and remand for further proceedings.
