WALLACE, Judge,
Dissenting.
I respectfully dissent. The rationale stated by the parties for the original rotating custody arrangement was Mr. Hal-bert’s work schedule as a firefighter, which frequently required him to “spend extended days and nights in the performance of his job.” Mr. Halbert’s employment as a firefighter terminated in September 2007. I conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in ruling that Mr. Hal-bert’s return to a more traditional work schedule as a result of the loss of his employment as a firefighter was a substantial change in circumstances. For this reason, I would affirm the trial court’s order.
