We affirm the judgment of the court.")
AC43391 - McNamara v. McNamara ("In this postdissolution matter, the defendant, Kristine McNamara, appeals from the judgment of the trial court granting her attorney's motion to withdraw his appearance, denying her motion for a continuance, and granting the motion of the plaintiff, James M. McNamara, for modification of certain custody orders. On appeal, the defendant claims that the court (1) abused its discretion in granting her attorney's motion to withdraw, (2) violated her right to procedural due process in denying her motion for a continuance, (3) abused its discretion in denying her motion for a continuance, and (4) abused its discretion in awarding the plaintiff final decision-making authority on issues concerning the health, treatment, and therapeutic providers of the parties' children. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
AC43482 - Tannenbaum v. Tannenbaum ("The plaintiff, Leonard Tannenbaum, appeals from the judgment of the trial court denying the motion for contempt filed by the defendant, Stacey Tannenbaum. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court improperly modified the existing travel related child custody order by requiring the plaintiff to accompany his minor child on any airline travel, except in the case of an emergency. Specifically, the plaintiff argues that (1) the court's order denying the defendant's motion for contempt constituted a modification because the existing travel related child custody order permitted the child's nanny or driver to accompany the child on air travel in lieu of the plaintiff not only in emergency circumstances, but also when the plaintiff had a health, work, or other family commitment, and (2) the alleged modification was improper because the court did not make findings that a substantial or material change had occurred, that the existing order was no longer in the child's best interests, or that the modification was in the child's best interests. We disagree that the court's order constituted a modification and, therefore, affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
