Text: ¶ 11. Our familiar standard holds that, absent an abuse of discretion, we will uphold the decision of the chancellor. To disturb the factual findings of the chancellor, this Court must determine that the factual findings are manifestly wrong, clearly erroneous or the chancellor abused his discretion. Jerome v. Stroud, 689 So.2d 755, 757 (Miss.1997). However, where the chancellor improperly considers and applies the Albright factors, an appellate court is obliged to find the chancellor in error. Stroud, 689 So.2d at 757 (citing Smith v. Smith, 614 So.2d 394, 397 (Miss. 1993)).
