Supreme Court of Arkansas

Cheri Suzanne McCoy, Appellant v. Vernon Jeffrey Kincade, Appellee — Self, J., Concurring

October 29, 20152015 Ark. LEXIS 612

Summary

The concurrence agreed that sufficient evidence supported modifying the existing joint-custody arrangement, but would have found a material change in circumstances from the parties' pleadings alone because both sought to end joint custody. The dissent would have reversed, concluding that neither the mother's relocation nor the children's maturation satisfied the threshold requirement of a material change in circumstances. The controlling disposition was an affirmance of the custody modification.
