Heading: Mother's Work Schedule

Text: Mr. Kendrick asserts that a material change in circumstances has occurred based upon Mrs. Shoemake's employment on the third shift at McKee Foods. Since the original award of custody, Mrs. Shoemake has begun working the night shift, between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Mrs. Shoemake testified that the primary reason she decided to work the night shift was to spend more time with Jordan during the day. She stated that her work schedule enables her to help Jordan in the afternoons when he returns from school. She also testified that either she or Mr. Shoemake is able to be at home with Jordan because she works at night. [9] Accordingly, we conclude that the preponderance of the evidence fails to show a material change in circumstances has occurred based upon Mrs. Shoemake's employment schedule.
