This is an appeal from a divorce with no minor children. Appellant claims that the trial court erred in multiple ways when classifying and distributing the marital estate. Appellant has waived these arguments, however, by failing to comply with this Court’s briefing requirements. Appellant also asserts that the trial court erred in granting Appellee attorney’s fees when she did not request such an award in her complaint. Upon review, we determine that the trial court’s reasoning for awarding attorney’s fees over Appellant’s objection is unclear. We therefore vacate trial court’s judgment as to Appellee’s attorney’s fees and remand the matter for reconsideration in accordance with Rule 52.01 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure. We affirm the remainder of the judgment.
