Samuel Adam Reese v. Lynette Erin Reese

The parties sought a divorce from one another and specifically contested who should be
their child’s primary residential parent. After a three-day trial, the General Sessions
Court for Roane County (“the Trial Court”) entered a final decree of divorce and
designated the mother as the child’s primary residential parent. The father appealed.
Finding that the Trial Court’s judgment lacked sufficient findings of fact and
consideration of the best interest factors codified in Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-6-106, we
vacate the Trial Court’s custody determination and remand this cause for the Trial Court
to provide written findings of facts and conclusions of law, demonstrating its
consideration of the best interest factors.
