HARRIS, Justice
(dissenting).
I respectfully dissent. I believe the proper scope for our review should be de novo. I do not believe Iowa Code sections 633.33 and 633.555 were intended to change the scope in reviewing custody decisions. See In re Marriage of Bolson, 394 N.W.2d 361, 363 (Iowa 1986). It seems illogical to have the scope of our review turn on the happenstance of the immediate remedy selected by a party when the question reviewed — welfare of the child — is the same.
Upon a de novo review I think that William and Edith Brass would better provide for Jeremy. I would reverse.
CARTER, J., joins this dissent.
