Concurring Opinion

CRICHTON, J.,

concurs in the denial of the writ.

11While I agree with the majority’s decision to deny the writ, I write separately to note that it is an appropriate and necessary practice for a trial judge to assign written reasons in cases that appear before him or her, as provided in La. C.C.P. art.1917. This is especially true in sensitive child custody and relocation cases, in which lack of clarity and direction can cause unnecessary confusion and delays, as it did in this matter. •

Concurring Opinion

HUGHES, J.,

additionally concurring.

|TI concur with the remand to obtain written reasons from the trial court, after which all assignments of error raised by relator may be considered by the court of appeal.
