WILSON, Judge.

Angelica Harmon (Harmon) seeks to regain custody of her minor daughter,

A.L.S.,1 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. Lyons, 21-

772 (La.App. 3 Cir. ___/___/22), ___ So.3d ___, 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.

AFFIRMED.
