Case Number
M2013-02519-COA-R3-JV

This appeal arises from the modification of Father’s parenting time and the juvenile court’s allocation of child support obligations. Father petitioned to modify custody or, alternatively, the residential parenting schedule. The juvenile court found that there had been no material change in circumstance and did not modify the primary residential parent designation. However, the court decreased Father’s parenting time and increased his child support obligation. Father appeals the juvenile court’s finding of no materialchange in circumstance, the modification of his parenting time, and the juvenile court’s failure to apply a credit for transportation costs against his child support obligation. Because we find the juvenile court applied an incorrect legal standard and failed to comply with Rule 52.01 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure, we vacate the judgment and remand for entry of an order with appropriate findings of fact and conclusions of law.
