Chastain v. Chastain
Chastain v. Chastain
Opinion of the Court
Appellant, the mother of Clay Chastain, eight years of age, appeals an order of the trial court modifying the custody provision of the final judgment of divorce. The order of modification changes custody from the
The record is replete with evidence supportive of the change of custody. That evidence is clearly sufficient to have supported a permanent change. Although the purpose of restricting the modification of custody to a period of one year and providing in the order for a review thereafter is unclear to us, we are not prepared to hold at this time that such constitutes an abuse of discretion. Whether or not another hearing will in fact be held in accordance with the reservation in the order here sought to be reviewed, what the evidence will then reveal as to the best interest of the child and the trial court’s decision then are matters upon which we will not now speculate.
AFFIRMED.
