HOFFMAN, Presiding Judge,
concurring in result.
I concur in the result reached by the majority, but I cannot agree that it was error not to admit the evidence of the Nebraska custody order. Raymond was accused of violating the Newton County custody order. He was a party at that hearing, admits he knew his ex-wife was awarded custody of the children, and admits he took the child out of Indiana. The fact that he may have had half a dozen other valid custody orders has no effect on this specific offense. The Nebraska order is irrelevant to the offense with which Raymond was charged and the trial court did not err in excluding it.
