LeGRAND, Justice
(dissenting).
I cannot agree with the reasoning or the result in Division II of the majority opinion, and accordingly I dissent therefrom.
Without any stated reasons, the majority opinion apparently says visitation should not be allowed on a weekly basis because they would be “unduly disruptive.”
I think this sweeping statement is both ill-advised and unjustified. Undoubtedly some cases present facts in which weekly visitation should not be ordered. There are no such circumstances here.
Under the record before us the result reached by the trial court should be affirmed. I cannot agree it is unreasonable for a non-custodial mother to see her son one day a week, which seems to be the new and rather startling formula adopted for custody cases today.
I would affirm without modification.
MASON, J., joins this dissent.
