Lewis v. Lewis

Lori Jean Lewis appeals from the trial court’s order granting Stuart Lewis’s petition to modify custody. We affirm.

When the parties were divorced in December 1999, the trial court entered a Consent Final Judgment and Decree of Divorce. Under the terms of that decree, Lori and Stuart Lewis were granted joint legal custody, care and control of their three children. The decree also provided for shared physical custody of the children. The children resided with their mother during the school year, while the father had the children every other weekend from Thursday at 3:00 p.m. until the following Sunday at 6:30 p.m. In addition, the decree provided that the father kept the children every Thursday evening from 3:00 p.m. until school started the next day. During the summer months, the children resided with their father, while the mother kept them every other weekend from Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. until the following Sunday at 8:00 p.m. Custody during holidays and vacation periods was split evenly between the parents.
