Ardis Mobile Home Park, v. State of Tennessee
This is an appeal from a decision of the Tennessee Claims Commission wherein the commissioner determined that the occurrences at issue constituted a taking of property by the State of Tennessee rather than a nuisance. The commissioner concluded that the exclusive remedy for a taking is an inverse condemnation action pursuant to T.C. A. § 29-16-123. Since actions predicated on inverse condemnation are outside the scope of the jurisdiction of the Claims Commission, the commissioner dismissed the claim. This appeal resulted. We reverse the judgment of the commissioner. |

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. |

This appeal involves a divorce in which the husband has been incarcerated throughout the marriage. After approximately four years of marriage, both the wife and the husband filed suit for divorce in the Circuit Court for Coffee County. Following a bench trial attended only by the wife, the trial court granted the wife a divorce on the grounds that the husband was incarcerated and that his conviction had rendered him infamous.
