MR. JUSTICE GULBRANDSON,
dissenting:
The parties, through their respective counsel, by stipulation and participation in the hearing on remand, treated that hearing as a continuation of the original hearing on the petition to modify custody decree. Both parties, along with thirteen other witnesses, testified without objection. The trial judge also had the transcripts available from the previous hearing and, although he found that the father was now able to offer a stable, secure and loving home for the children, concluded that there had been no substantial change in the circumstances to permit modification of the original decree.
There is substantial credible evidence to support the findings of the trial judge and I would therefore, affirm.
