Elizabeth Whitaker vs. Lawson Whitaker

Case Number
E2002-00847-COA-R3-CV
In this post-divorce case, Lawson S. Whitaker, III ("Father") filed a complaint against Elizabeth Donahue Whitaker ("Mother"), seeking to hold her in contempt of court for depriving him of visitation privileges and parenting time with the parties' minor daughter, Grace Anne Whitaker (DOB: September 6, 1996) ("the child"). In response, Mother filed, inter alia, a counterclaim for contempt and for modification of the parties' Parenting Plan. The trial court found a substantial and material change in circumstances justifying a modification of the Parenting Plan. In addition, the trial court held Father in contempt due to his failure to follow the court's prior orders and for harassing Mother. Father appeals both the modification and the court's finding of contempt. Mother seeks attorney's fees for this appeal. We affirm and remand to the trial court for that court to set attorney's fees for Mother in connection with this appeal.
