MURDOCK, Justice (concurring specially).
I concur in quashing the writ in this case.  I write
separately to note that I would be open, in an appropriate
case, to reexamining the issue whether the standard set out in
Ex parte McLendon, 455 So. 2d 863 (Ala. 1984), rather than the
standard set out in Ex parte Couch, 521 So. 2d 987 (Ala.
1988), should be applied to a petition to modify custody where
joint physical custody has been maintained for a meaningful
period pursuant to a prior court order.
