Clark v. Rau

The mother's pro se appeal failed to comply with the Court of Appeals' rules, and the Court thus affirmed the grant of the father's petition for modification of custody and child support.

Kathrine Clark appeals pro se from an order of the Chatham County Superior Court granting Ricky G. Rau’s petition for modification of custody and child support. No transcript is included in the record, and while the hearing at issue was reported, it does not appear that it was transcribed.1 Moreover, Clark’s appellate brief is inadequate either to enumerate the errors she contends were made below, or to support them with argument and citation of authority as required by this court’s rules. In these circumstances, we must presume the regularity of the judicial proceedings below and affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Clark and Rau are the parents of three minor children: sixteen-year-old B. C., fifteen-year-old V. C., and twelve-year-old K. C. On October 16, 2013, the Superior Court of Chatham County entered an order of legitimation, custody, and child support in which Clark and Rau were granted joint legal custody of the children, with Clark having primary physical custody of B. C., Rau having primary physical custody of K. C., and the couple sharing joint physical custody of V. C. On March 7, 2014, Rau filed a petition for modification of custody and child support in which he alleged circumstances materially affecting the welfare of the children, including that Clark was not exercising the joint physical custody arrangement and allowing him physical custody of V. C., that she was not exercising the custodial arrangements with the other children, and that she had failed to provide a suitable furnished residence for the children. Following a bench trial on the petition, the trial court awarded Rau sole legal and physical custody of his three minor children. This appeal followed.
