Mark S. Tidman and Evelyn J. Tidman v. The Salvation Army, Bertha Worthy, Kenneth E. Brewer, Fred Ruth - Concuring
01-A-01-9708-CV-00380
Authoring Judge: Judge Henry F. Todd
Trial Court Judge: Judge Walter C. Kurtz

Two former Salvation Army officers, a husband and wife who had been demoted and discharged, sued their superior officers and The Salvation Army itself for invasion of privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and outrageous conduct. The Circuit Court of Davidson County dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. We affirm, and hold, in addition, that the defendants’ actions were protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Phyllis Ann Frazier Hamby v. Joseph Dewight Hamby and Anthony Hamby - Concurring
03A01-9708-CV-00346

Trial Court Judge: Judge John B. Hagler

In this divorce action, the wife appeals from the Trial Court’s Order of child support and the evaluation of the marital estate and its distribution.

Etta Mechelle Parks, v. Craig DeWayne Parks
03A01-9711-GS-00519
Authoring Judge: Judge Charles D. Susano, Jr.
Trial Court Judge: Judge Rocky H. Young

In this divorce case, the appellant Etta Mechelle Parks argues that the trial court erred in awarding her former husband, Craig Dewayne Parks, custody of their two boys, ages seven and almost four. We do not find that the evidence preponderates against the trial court’s custody decree. See Rule 13(d), T.R.A.P.; Hass v. Knighton, 676 S.W.2d 554, 555 (Tenn. 1984). Accordingly, we cannot say that the trial court abused its discretion in placing the children’s sole custody with Mr. Parks. See Grant v. Grant, 286 S.W.2d 349, 350 (Tenn.App. 1954).

Patrick Alan Wolfe v. Terri Lee Wolfe
03A01-9801-CV-00003
Authoring Judge: Judge Charles D. Susano, Jr.
Trial Court Judge: Judge Earle G. Murphy

In this post-divorce case, the trial court denied the petition of Terri Lee Wooten, formerly Wolfe (“Mother”), seeking sole custody of the parties’ daughter, Kelsea Wolfe, age five and a half. In the same order, the court granted the counterclaim of Patrick Alan Wolfe (“Father”) by modifying Mother’s visitation rights. Mother appealed, arguing that the trial court abused its discretion in failing to change the child’s custody. She also claims that the court erred in modifying the visitation schedule set forth in the divorce judgment.

Leslie A. Hassell, v. Thomas W. Hassell
02A01-9709-CH-00220
Authoring Judge: Judge David R. Farmer
Trial Court Judge: Chancellor William Michael Maloan

Following the trial of this matter, the court ordered the parties, Leslie A. Hassell (Wife) and Thomas W. Hassell (Husband), to be entitled to a divorce pursuant to T.C.A . § 36 -4 -129 ( b ) . Husband was ordered to pay Wife $500 per month as alimony in futuro and that award is the sole issue presented by Husband to this court on appeal.
