Text: [¶ 11] The wife asserts that the trial court erred when it ordered divided custody and gave primary decision-making authority to a perpetrator of domestic violence. The husband responds that the trial court properly applied the best-interests-of-the-child standard. [¶ 12] After the parties' oral arguments in this court, the wife filed a Petition for Modification of Decree of Divorce to Place Primary Custody With Petitioner (Mother) as Child's Historic Primary Care Provider with the trial court. The trial court found that the circumstances since the entry of the Decree of Divorce had substantially changed and ordered custody of the parties' son to be changed to the wife. The husband has appealed from that order. Because the circumstances surrounding this issue have changed so significantly and because the trial court's order which pertains to the most recent facts has been appealed since the case at bar was heard, we have decided to reserve our discussion on this issue for our opinion in that case.
