1Opinion of the Court

TERRI F. LOVE, Judge.

| ¶ Carmen Pillow-Smith appeals the judgment of the trial court denying her request to hold Cedric Smith in contempt for failure to pay child support and failure to return the minor children. Ms. Pillow-Smith further assigns error to the trial court for denying her request for attorney’s fees, and for curtailing the trial testimony of Mr. Smith at the trial court’s discretion. We find no error in the findings of the trial court except for the issue of attorney’s fees and costs. Therefore, we affirm in part and reverse and remand in part.
