LEVINE, Justice,
concurring in result.
I write to distance myself from any suggestion that each party’s misconduct here is somehow equal and therefore deserving of equal disapproval. I find no parallel between the father’s felonious abduction of the children and his secreting them for nine months until he was foiled by the happenstance of his involvement in a traffic accident, and the mother’s pesky attitude toward the father’s visitation, which ranged from limiting the length of phone calls to ten minutes each to downright obfuscation. Because I am satisfied that the trial court did not equate the culpability of the parties, I join in affirming the trial court’s decision with the exception of grandparent visitation.
