Sole custody, supervised visitation, and attorney's fees award reversed

14-05-01271-CV Trudie Lynne Baltzer v. Larry Ruiz Medina
Appeal from 310th District Court of Harris County (Judge Lisa Millard)

The trial court did not reversibly err in failing to file findings of fact and conclusions of law or in
granting Larry the exclusive right to make decisions concerning S.M.'s education, as well as the
exclusive right to consent to medical, dental, and surgical treatment involving invasive procedures and
to consent to psychiatric and psychological treatment of S.M.  The trial court, however, abused its
discretion by (1) limiting Lynne's periods of possession to less than that provided in a standard
possession order, (2) ordering that her periods of possession be supervised, and (3) designating
Larry as sole managing conservator rather than continuing Larry and Lynne as joint managing
conservators.  Given these errors, the court of appeals reverse all attorney's fees awards and
remands these issues to the trial court for reconsideration.
