Opinion of the Court
Judgment affirmed. See Opinion and Judgment Entry. [CHRISTLEY] (NADER) (O'NEILL)
DOMESTIC RELATIONS/CHILD CUSTODY:
The trial court has broad discretion in allocating the custody of minor children. A court of appeals will not reverse the judgment of the trial court in the absence of an abuse of discretion.
The cohabitation of a residential parent with another person will not be the basis for a modification of a parenting decree unless the cohabitation can be shown to have had an adverse effect on the child such that a modification of custody would be in the best interest of the child.
