MATTER OF JONES v. Jones

Opinion

OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.

The Appellate Division’s determination that no compelling reason for change of the original custody arrangement had been shown more nearly comports with the weight of the evidence than does the contrary determination of the Family Judge. In this setting there is no abuse of discretion.

Chief Judge Wachtler and Judges Jasen, Meyer, Simons, Kaye and Alexander concur; Judge Titone taking no part.

Order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
