Heading: Parenting Skills and the Willingness and Capacity to Provide the Primary Child Care to the Child.

Text: ¶ 10. The chancellor found that each parent exhibited good parenting skills and each were active in the child's school and church activities. The record reflected that the minor child had attended church with Barbara her entire life. William did not attend church with his family because of his job. After the separation, William began accompanying the minor child to church. Testimony also showed that William had not taken the minor child to the dentist since the separation because he did not feel it was necessary. Barbara testified that she always saw to it that her children regularly saw the dentist and a doctor. There was also testimony that William allowed his six-year-old daughter to attend first grade wearing two-inch high heels although she complained that they hurt her feet. Barbara testified that although the minor child was old enough to dress herself, she still found it necessary to lay her clothes out for school each morning. Once again the chancellor did not make a specific finding in favor of one parent over the other regarding this factor.
