Marriage of Parkerson and Carpenter
Frequently in child custody disputes the parents' behavior leaves the trial court with no good choices but instead the unenviable task of selecting the least bad of various alternatives. This is such a case. Here the parents do not appear to be able to agree upon any matter related to the upbringing of their now seven-year-old child. Indeed because of hostility between the parents from the time the child was an infant, transfer of physical custody has consistently occurred at a sheriff's substation.
This appeal arises from the fact that in the summer of 2006 the child's mother, without consulting the child's father, attempted to enroll the child in a new school. When the child's father was informed about the change, he objected on the grounds that he had not been consulted about the proposed change and in fact believed that his son was doing well at the school he was attending.
Order affirmed.
