S.B. v. W.B ca4/9
In this child custody dispute, the child’s mother, S.B., appeals from an order of the trial court granting sole legal and sole physical custody of the child to W.B., the child’s father. The order also granted to S.B. visitation and/or parenting time with her child on two weekends per month. S.B. claims the trial court abused its discretion because there was no showing of changed circumstances to permit the court to modify the parties’ preexisting joint custody arrangement. However, fatal to S.B.’s appeal is the fact that she has failed to provide this court with an adequate record from which to meaningfully evaluate the merits of her claim of error. In view of this basic failure, S.B.’s burden as the appellant remains unmet and the presumption that the order of the trial court is correct prevails. Accordingly, while we provide some guidance to the parties with respect to future modification requests, the order of the trial court is hereby affirmed.
