Elizabeth B. v. Corey G.
In this change of custody case substantial evidence in the record supports the trial court's decision to change the custody of the minor child from his mother to his father, who lives in Pennsylvania. In particular, the evidence shows that in his mother's care the boy did not appear to be developing emotionally and that he presented an unusually flat affect and glum demeanor. A psychologist who examined the child, his mother and his father believes these conditions are a serious concern and attributable to the child's unusually close attachment to his mother. In light of this record the trial court did not err in changing custody to the child's father and providing for reasonable visitation for the child's mother. Having changed custody, the trial court was also warranted in permitting the father to take the child to the father's new home in Pennsylvania. Order affirmed.
