McAlister v. Clifton

Summary

The court held that the challenge to the equitable-caregiver visitation award became moot when the child reached adulthood, because the visitation order terminated by operation of law and no continuing parental rights or collateral consequences were shown. It vacated the portions of the trial court’s orders addressing the statute’s constitutionality and the visitation award, and remanded for dismissal of the visitation claim. The court affirmed denial of the breach-of-settlement-agreement counterclaim because the appellant failed to prove damages.
