Donna Bunker vs. Roger Finks

Donna J. (Finks) Bunker ("Mother") and Roger Finks ("Father") were divorced in Ohio in 1993. The parties had two minor children. Mother and the children relocated to Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Father stayed in Ohio. The Ohio Divorce Decree was brought properly before the Tennessee Trial Court. Father filed a petition seeking a change of custody and visitation, while Mother filed a cross-petition seeking an increase in child support. The Trial Court found that while Father proved a material change in circumstances, he failed to carry his burden of showing that a change of custody was warranted. The Trial Court also restricted Father's visitation with the children to take place only in Chattanooga. The Trial Court did not increase Father's child support obligation. Both Father and Mother raise issues on appeal. Father's issues on appeal concern custody and visitation, primarily of the parties' younger child ("Younger Child"). We affirm, as modified, and remand.
