Newsom v. Newsom
Newsom v. Newsom
Opinion of the Court
This cause involves the change of the custody of two minor children from the mother to that of the father. In a divorce action between the parties the' care and custody of the children were awarded to the mother. Plaintiff brought this suit and alleged that there had been a change in the conditions since the Court awarded the custody of the children to the mother and alleged sufficient grounds of such change. The cause was tried without the aid of a jury, and the Court, after hearing the evidence, found in his decree: “ * * * that conditions existing at the time of the entry of the decree in Cause Number 81,-134 on September 28, 1953, (that being the date of the divorce decree) have materially changed since the date of said Decree, and it further appearing to the Court that the changed conditions have materially and adversely affected the best interests of said minor children, such as to render it necessary and advisable that the custody and control of the minor children of the parties, * * * Judith Faye Newsom and W. H. Newsom, III, be changed and that the custody and control of said minor children be vested in Plaintiff, W. H. Newsom, Jr. and that the Decree, heretofore entered on September 28, 1953, in Cause Number 81,134, be modified, changing the custody and control of said minor children from defendant, Imagene E. Newsom, to plaintiff, W. H. Newsom, Jr.,” and the Court decreed accordingly.
There was no request for findings of fact and conclusions of law and none was filed, save and except the findings of fact and conclusions that appear in the decree entered by the Court.
The judgment is assailed substantially on one point, and that is that the Court erred
Accordingly, the Judgment of the Trial Court is affirmed.
