Description
In this child custody dispute, we are asked to reverse an order by the trial court prohibiting the custodial parent in this case, Deborah Taylor Mitten, from moving out of state with her three-year-old daughter, Brittney, over the objection of the non-custodial parent, David Steve Taylor. The resolution of this dispute requires a reassessment of the procedural rules established in a trilogy of recent cases, beginning with our opinion in Seessel v. Seessel, 748 S.W.2d 422 (Tenn. 1988). Because we find that Deborah Mitten should have been allowed to move with the child to Davenport, Iowa, where her new husband had established residence while attending school, we reverse the order of the trial court denying permission to remove, as well as the judgment of the Court of Appeals affirming that order. We also take this occasion to announce more precisely the procedure that should be followed and the standards that will apply in cases of this nature in the future.
