Marriage of Mark and Yolanda B.
In this case we reverse an order changing custody of the parties' eight year old son. The undisputed record shows minor is extremely apprehensive about being in respondent's presence and exhibits angry, aggressive and sometimes dangerous behavior when compelled to attend counseling sessions with her. Moreover, no expert has offered any opinion which would support the conclusion that as opposed to joint therapy with respondent, the immediate transfer of custody to respondent could be accomplished without substantial risk to minor's mental and physical health. Given this record the trial court could not conclude the immediate transfer of custody was in minor's best interest.
