The trial court dismissed the case ruling that a writ of certiorari was not proper in this case, that Appellant did not exhaust his administrative claims, and that the petition was not timely. For the reasons below, we affirm the trial court's dismissal of the case.

| Donna Bunker vs. Roger Finks
E2001-01496-COA-R3-CV
Donna J. (Finks) Bunker ("Mother") and Roger Finks ("Father") were divorced in Ohio in 1993. The parties had two minor children. Mother and the children relocated to Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Father stayed in Ohio. The Ohio Divorce Decree was brought properly before the Tennessee Trial Court. Father filed a petition seeking a change of custody and visitation, while Mother filed a cross-petition seeking an increase in child support. The Trial Court found that while Father proved a material change in circumstances, he failed to carry his burden of showing that a change of custody was warranted. The Trial Court also restricted Father's visitation with the children to take place only in Chattanooga. The Trial Court did not increase Father's child support obligation. Both Father and Mother raise issues on appeal. Father's issues on appeal concern custody and visitation, primarily of the parties' younger child ("Younger Child"). We affirm, as modified, and remand.

| Eddie Fritz vs. Wanda Fritz
E2001-00145-COA-R3-CV
Eddie LaMartin Fritz ("Husband") filed for divorce alleging inappropriate marital conduct or, in the alternative, irreconcilable differences. Wanda Lorraine Williams Fritz ("Wife") counter-claimed seeking a divorce on the same grounds. The parties eventually agreed how to divide most of their personal property and stipulated to grounds for the divorce. Wife had opened two savings accounts into which she claims she placed funds for the college education of her two daughters from a previous marriage. The Trial Court concluded the funds in these accounts were not marital property, and Husband challenges this conclusion on appeal. Husband also challenges the Trial Court's holding that he be responsible for all of the credit card debt accumulated during the marriage. We modify the division of property, and affirm the judgment as modified.
