Court composed of Shannon J. Gremillion, Candyce G. Perret, and Sharon Darville Wilson, Judges.
WILSON, Judge.
Angelica Harmon (Harmon) seeks to regain custody of her minor daughter, A.L.S., from A.L.S.’s paternal grandmother, Tammy Louise Lyons (Lyons). The trial court issued two judgments on June 23, 2021. The first awarded joint custody of A.L.S. to Harmon and Lyons. Neither Harmon nor Lyons was named as domiciliary parent. The second judgment issued a joint custody implementation plan, which provided that beginning with the 2021-2022 school year, Harmon and Lyons would share custody of A.L.S. on an alternating seven-day basis with the exchange day being Friday. Harmon filed two separate appeals with respect to the two judgments; therefore, this matter is a companion case to Smith v. Harmon , 21-772 (La.App. 3 Cir. 4/6/22), 337 So.3d 912, which was rendered by this court on this same day. For the reasons given in that opinion, we affirm both of the trial court's judgments in their entirety.
