GARRARD, Judge,
concurring.
When parties litigate a matter in our courts they and we are constrained to the evidence admitted. On appeal it is that evidence to which we must apply the law. Where that party bearing the burden of proof fails to sustain his or her contention, either because there was no evidence available on a critical issue, or because the evidence failed to sustain that party's contention, there is a failure of proof.
Upon the evidence presented in the case at bar, I am constrained to agree with the majority that no change in circumstances so substantial and continuing as to make the existing order unreasonable was established.
I therefore agree the judgment must be reversed.
