Vaughn v. Davis
Annotate this CaseThis case arose after a divorce decree between Husband and Wife. After a hearing, the trial court entered a final order granting primary physical custody of the children to Husband and visitation to Wife. Thereafter, Wife filed a motion for a new trial, which the trial court denied. Wife then appealed this ruling, contending, among other things, that the trial court erred by relying on evidence adduced at the temporary hearing. The court held that the record and the trial court's final order explicitly showed that the trial court relied on evidence from the temporary hearing to reach its final decision regarding custody of the children and there was no indication that the parties were notified in advance that this was going to happen. As a result, pursuant to Pace v. Pace, the court reversed the trial court's final order and remanded for further proceedings.
