Description
This appeal is taken from an order of the Circuit Court of Barry County modifying the child custody provisions of a divorce decree. The child involved is Katrina Stockton, who must now be nearly six years old. By reason of circumstances which shall presently appear, Katrina has been in the actual custody of her paternal grandparents. The trial court has resolved this controversy by awarding custody of the child to her mother, giving the grandparents custody for a period of one week beginning July 15 and November 15 of each year until she reaches ""school age,"" and thereafter for the month of July in each year. The father has appealed. On March 26, 1963, Gale Stockton, the father and appellant, was divorced from Sandra Guthary, the mother, who is respondent here. The action was tried in the same court before the same Judge who entered the judgment appealed from. The divorce decree recites that both parties appeared, that the cause was taken on the pleadings and proof, and that the court found for the plaintiff, Gale Stockton. Custody of Katrina, then eighteen months old, was awarded to her father.
