   PER CURIAM

On de novo review, we determine that the best interests of the children dictate that they be placed in permanent custody of the father. The trial court’s decree is modified accordingly. The matter is remanded for determination of visitation and support, if any.

Decree modified; custody of children awarded to father; remanded for further proceedings. Costs to appellant.

VAN HOOMISSEN, J.,

dissenting.

Giving proper deference to the trial judge’s opportunity to see and hear the witnesses, on de novo review I would affirm his ruling. Therefore, I respectfully dissent.
