Nalley v. Adams (Majority, with Concurring and Dissenting)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court's order granting Father's motion for modification of custody of the parties' daughter, holding that the court did not err in modifying the previous custody order after finding that Father's change in employment and move to Little Rock constituted a material change in circumstances.
A previous order of the circuit court awarded joint custody of the child to the parties and provided a specific visitation schedule. Father later filed an amended complaint for contempt and for modification. The circuit court found that Mother was not in contempt of court but concluded that Father's change in employment and move to Little Rock constituted a material change in circumstances that warranted modification of child custody to grant Father equal time with the child. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court's decision to reallocate time was not an abuse of discretion.
