Allen ex rel. Allen v. Gatewood

LISA WHITE HARDWICK, Judge.

Deena Gatewood (“Mother”) appeals from the circuit court’s judgment sustaining Cap Duke Allen’s (“Father”) motion to prevent her from relocating with then-daughter (“Child”) and finding Mother in contempt. Mother contends the court erred in granting relief because Father’s motion was untimely and there was substantial evidence that relocation was in the best interests of Child. Mother also asserts the court erred in denying her motion for continuance of the trial setting. For reasons explained herein, we affirm.
