Supreme Court of Arkansas

Graham Goodloe, Appellant v. Marcia Goodloe, Appellee — Hart, J., Dissenting

June 26, 20142014 Ark. LEXIS 388

Summary

Justice Hart, dissenting, would affirm the circuit court's decision to leave physical custody with Marcia while granting Graham final authority over educational and medical decisions. She reasoned that the children were functioning under the existing arrangement, the circuit court had addressed the educational and medical problems through decision-making changes, and the evidence did not clearly establish circumstances warranting a custody transfer. Justice Goodson, dissenting separately, would have the court reach the merits rather than remand based on later temporary custody proceedings.
