Description
At the time of their parents' divorce in Ada County District Court in the summer of 1973, the two children of the dissolved marriage were girls, six and four years of age, then living with their father. The mother sought the divorce. She alleged the fitness of both parents, adding that under circumstances then existing that it was in the best interests of the children that the father have custody subject to reasonable visitation rights in the mother. Although the action went by default, the district Judge before whom the cause was heard inquired of the mother as to her relinquishment of custody of her children, holding the matter under advisement while he obtained the benefit of a child custody investigation by an appropriate state agency. Thereafter a final decree was entered in which custody was placed in the father and reasonable visitation awarded to the mother. Before a year went by there were minor skirmishes between the parties as to the fulfillment of reasonable visitation in the mother. In due time there followed the mother's petition that the final decree be modified to place custody with her. Declaring that the circumstances which had existed at the time of the divorce had changed, she alleged that the requested custody change would be in the best interests of the children. She premised change of circumstances on allegations that at the time of the divorce her health had not been good, but that, away from the children's father, she had recovered, had subsequently remarried, and could now resume her care of the children.
