Finklea v. Finklea
Annotate this CaseWife appealed a final judgment of divorce, contending that, in awarding primary physical custody of the parties' two children to husband, the trial court abused its discretion in failing to consider evidence of alleged family violence perpetrated by husband against her and that the trial court erred by failing to enter written findings of fact explaining its reasons for granting primary physical custody to husband. The court held that the trial court did not fail to consider the evidence of family violence and that the trial court did not abuse its broad discretion in awarding physical custody of the children to husband, with wife having joint legal custody and extensive visitation. The court also held that wife could not complain about the trial court's child support calculations where she specifically asked that court to use her child support worksheet. Accordingly, the judgment was affirmed.
