This case involves a father's efforts to protect his children from their mother's sexually abusive relatives. When the mother filed for divorce in the Chancery Court for Houston County, she also filed a notice of intent to relocate with the children to the State of New York to be closer to her family, including a stepfather who had sexually abused and raped her when she was a child. Following a bench trial, the trial court declared the parties divorced, designated the mother as the primary residential parent, and permitted the mother to move to the State of New York with the parties' children. The father has appealed, arguing first that the trial court's custody and relocation decisions have exposed the children to an unreasonable risk of sexual abuse and second, that the trial court erred by refusing to designate which of the parties should be permitted to claim the children as tax exemptions. We have determined that the trial court erred by allowing the mother and the children to move to the State of New York without sufficient proof regarding their safety. We have also concluded that the court erred by refusing to address the parties' tax exemption issues.

Authoring Judge: William H. Inman, Senior Judge
Trial Court Judge: Hon. Walter C. Kurtz,
This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. _ 5-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law. The issue is whether the defendant should be estopped to plead the bar of the Statute of Limitations. The trial judge ruled that waiver and estoppel were not implicated and dismissed the suit. The plaintiff alleged that he was injured while working for the Opryland Hotel on May 28, 1994. The defense of the Statute of Limitations was raised by motion for summary judgment, the hearing of which was bifurcated. The trial court determined that the plaintiff was aware of a job-related injury no later than June 8, 1994,1 but conducted a separate hearing on the issue of waiver and estoppel, following which he ruled that the delay in filing suit was the fault of the plaintiff. Plaintiff was employed at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville on May 28, 1994, as a doorman. On the early afternoon of May 28, 1994, he felt a pain in his lower right abdomen, and thought he had pulled a muscle and reported this to the door captain. He then told the bell services manager that he thought he had pulled a muscle and requested permission to go home, which was granted. He returned to work on his next scheduled work day, and continued to work without complaint until he was terminated for an unrelated reason on August 13, 1994. Plaintiff went to see his personal physician, Dr. Jacokes, about this injury on June 8, 1994. After examining the plaintiff, Dr. Jacokes advised him that he had a hernia. Plaintiff knew that his injury had occurred at work, but he made no mention to Opryland of his hernia before leaving his employment. Plaintiff testified that the pain in his lower abdomen worsened in April, 1995, and he sought additional medical treatment. His physician told him that he would need surgery and, as a result, he contacted defendant to file a workers' compensation claim. He was referred to Willis Corroon, the third party administrator of Opryland's workers' compensation claims, and spoke with Ms. Ann Parker, claims adjuster, at Willis Corroon. 1The Complaint was filed July 26, 1995. 2
