Court hears disputed evidence in Boyd v. Boyd; restraining-order hearing continued
Summary
In a hearing over the extension of an ex parte restraining order and concurrent custody issues, the court heard testimony about photographs on a child’s iPad, text-message threads the parties described as drug-related, and psychological evaluations; multiple exhibits were marked and the matter was continued for further proceedings.
The chancery court took testimony and received evidence in Boyd v. Boyd as it considered whether to extend an existing ex parte restraining order that restricts the mother’s contact with the child and addresses custody arrangements.
Presiding judge and counsel framed the hearing as both an evidentiary matter on the restraining order and a fact-finding opportunity relevant to an eventual parenting plan. The judge stated the existing restraining order limited the mother’s time with the child to after-school weekdays until 7 p.m., certain alternate weekends from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and eliminated overnight visits. The court reviewed a guardian ad litem report that had been filed under seal and instructed witnesses to comply with the rule excluding non-testifying witnesses from the courtroom.
