The court also ordered family counseling and adjusted temporary custody arrangements while the court completes further factfinding.

The judge said the oldest child had been \"very emotional\" and described allegations that warranted immediate screening and investigation. The court ordered both parents to provide hair-follicle testing and appointed Lane Coffinberry as the guardian ad litem for the children. The judge explained the Rule 35 evaluation would help identify whether there were outstanding issues that should affect custody or visitation.

Temporarily, the court directed that the oldest child remain with the father and that the two younger children resume a week-on, week-off schedule with the mother pending further proceedings. The judge also instructed counsel to include a prohibition in the order against either parent making derogatory remarks to the children about the other parent or about significant others.

The court discussed scheduling and set a further hearing date for Dec. 5 (a chancery docket day) to continue the matter and review results of testing, the Rule 35 evaluation, and progress on counseling. Counsel was directed to circulate a proposed order reflecting the temporary placement, testing requirements, the guardian-ad-litem appointment, and the counseling directive.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","9-16-25 Dickson Chancery","oneSentenceSummary","After emotional testimony by the eldest child, the chancery judge ordered extended-panel hair-follicle drug tests for both parents, appointed Lane Coffinberry as guardian ad litem, and directed a Rule 35 evaluation; the eldest child will remain with the father while the two younger children follow a week-on, week-off schedule with the mother pending further proceedings.","taxTitle","Judge David D.

The court reset the related motions for Oct. 31.

The judge explained Rule 43.01 requires a motion for permission to present testimony by audio-visual means to be filed at least 60 days before trial to allow opposing parties an opportunity to object; Perricone's filing did not meet that deadline. Beyond the timing issue, the judge said the substance and breadth of Perricone's filings raised questions about whether they were personally drafted, mentioning the possibility of assistance from another person or artificial intelligence.

The court denied the remote-testimony request and offered Perricone an opportunity to appear in person; the judge offered Oct. 31 as the reset date to give her time to travel to Tennessee. The ruling also covered the father's pending Rule 11 motion and indicated that the father's challenges would be addressed when the parties appear in person. The guardian ad litem was noted as present on Zoom outside the courtroom.

The judge advised counsel to be prepared for the rescheduled hearing and declined to consider remote testimony for party or expert witnesses absent exceptional circumstances in the interest of justice.","The court denied a motion filed under Rule 43.01 to allow remote testimony after the filing deadline and said it had doubts whether Perricone drafted her pleadings personally or used outside assistance; the court reset the motions for Oct. 31.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},5981129,"Judge Denies Nathaniel Warmbier's Motion to Set Aside Parenting-Plan Order; Finds Respondent Admitted Withholding Child Support",290,1240000,1530000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5810437-be3358eac69ea695b54d6b632822634c&start=1240&end=1530","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5810437-be3358eac69ea695b54d6b632822634c/thumbnail_1240000.jpg","/articles/5981129/Tennessee/Judge-Denies-Nathaniel-Warmbiers-Motion-to-Set-Aside-Parenting-Plan-Order-Finds-Respondent-Admitted-Withholding-Child-Support","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5981129-a19543b261e9755b1bc9fa64a12dc9e6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154672&Signature=dO6jfIuyopTRCcwB4wJsNJvMVjc7o9XbONzaluFKEKIc4WaAc2RMDXp~m1XVcUmdvfWeMJrjMHah-Xo1z2cpO4wvsGqfkG6EQfOsVJ9msDj-XsgLr~byQSeglom55UtEgtvRjItZC~rnJeG01B6-b6PwrMFH-HFaIOCa1DmDPpS3zK~kVjQObQJU3R0rHkcObCsj5Iprebz3qmbKKcq~j3MWNdsuqQNOIoZGmV55QtHRqVQfreXxa0PL-5zY0R6-DYg0VFyU6GQ8VNmoNj2iLELwebYC1dUsTATMljcjV7ldsUTOgez37ndKHD8-u~aiuAhRt0lOpDz9XeTyPeJySg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A chancery judge denied Nathaniel Warmbier's motion to set aside an existing parenting-plan order and rejected his request for Rule 11 sanctions, finding the order accurately reflected statements made under oath at a May 28, 2025 hearing.

The judge said the record showed Warmbier, who appeared pro se, acknowledged under oath that he had failed to make timely child-support payments and had withheld funds as leverage. The court described statements on the record that the respondent \"admitted under oath that he failed to make timely payments for his support obligation, and that he had the ability to make such payments, and withheld paying the funds to the petitioner in retaliation.\"

Plaintiff counsel asked the court to affirm the prior order, which included an attorney-fee judgment of $5,000 in favor of the petitioner for legal work performed; the judge upheld that judgment and denied Warmbier's motion as not well taken. The court also found any Rule 11 violation, if present, would be by Warmbier rather than counsel.

The judge directed counsel to prepare an order consistent with the ruling. The court additionally entered a show-cause notice for both parents based on their failure to produce proof of completion of a court-ordered parenting class; the judge said the absence of such proof would be considered in future litigation.","The court denied Nathaniel Warmbier's motion to set aside a May parenting-plan order and rejected his request for Rule 11 sanctions; the record includes on-the-record admissions that Warmbier was behind on child support and used payments as leverage.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},5981134,"Judge Allows Alicia Brandt to Serve as Conservator for Trevante, Waives Property Plan and Annual Physician Report",130,835000,965000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5810437-be3358eac69ea695b54d6b632822634c&start=835&end=965","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5810437-be3358eac69ea695b54d6b632822634c/thumbnail_835000.jpg","/articles/5981134/Tennessee/Judge-Allows-Alicia-Brandt-to-Serve-as-Conservator-for-Trevante-Waives-Property-Plan-and-Annual-Physician-Report","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5981134-54c3a1842d2d8ee815723e9adf398380/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154672&Signature=SxTVh7kAWKzcUuVLNAZsLE3lis~PYXMFQvehQFtgqGqUpb1umbeLW512UoKkgACu4HqsxuX0XFtuilhBLx2H9BAbDt2OXU6jhWd2AHreIYaT6sl5mDYgZ9HR6Cf7quQ9lAycBjFqf20W99ghiNJ8cAy8bYpkif2Sj87XZU~c2ANGBeMIrCwknYPvvOKOGdzMd6n2aJcX9l~cQM1Cen7QzIt4kul8QJQmSCfcXa1J9jHJ8Ti8g5bAPTup5mX4X6vEvFPhdUIvKuZKf5w3JpgMLgk2kONiCvsMSIgrv~olyMT882ZBN6ersvG951u3iy~l5FqAwnL-XOupqWEGpPj81w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A chancery judge in Tennessee authorized Alicia Brandt to serve as conservator for her son, Trevante, and waived a property-management plan and the routine annual physician's report, citing the child's lack of assets and permanent condition. Alicia Brandt testified the young man lives with her and that his only income is Supplemental Security Income, which his parents use to meet his needs.

The court said it would waive requirements because \"there is no property involved in this case, and his only income is social security,\" and described Trevante's condition as permanent. The judge also noted the office would accept annual reporting directly rather than requiring an annual physician's report.

During the hearing the judge asked whether guardianship paperwork and medical affidavits had been filed; Brandt confirmed Trevante is described in the submitted medical affidavit as having a disability. The court also addressed a separate administrative item: whether Lane Coffinberry had submitted a request for a guardian ad litem fee, and the judge instructed counsel to prepare a separate order when that fee request is received.

The court's directions were limited to the conservatorship process and administrative waivers; no change in ownership of property or additional financial assets was reported. The judge signed the order permitting Brandt to serve under the stated conditions and deferred entry of any guardian ad litem fee order until a specific request is made.

The hearing included routine procedural questions about service of process and further orders; counsel was directed to prepare and circulate the signed order for entry.","In a chancery hearing, the judge approved Alicia Brandt to serve as conservator for her son Trevante, finding he has no property and receives only SSI; the court waived a property-management plan and the requirement for annual physician reports.","actionData","errors"]
