David Travis Bennett v. Pamela Jean Bennett

Case Number
M2000-02448-COA-R3-CV

The parties were divorced in 1995. The Final Decree awarded joint custody of their minor child. Pamela Jean Bennett ("Mother") was awarded primary physical custody, while David Travis Bennett ("Father") was awarded visitation. Thereafter, the Trial Court held three hearings upon the parties' petitions regarding several issues. Father appeals two of the three orders that the Trial Court entered, and his issues on appeal involve the following: the Trial Court's refusal, at the second hearing, to allow proof regarding issues previously reserved by the Trial Court at the first hearing; the Trial Court's refusal to allow Father to fire his attorney during the second hearing; the Trial Court's increase of Father's child support obligation; the Trial Court's refusal to modify child custody; the Trial Court's finding Father in contempt for failure to pay child support; and the Trial Court's refusal to find Mother in contempt for her alleged failure to comply with the visitation schedule. We affirm.
