We affirm for the reasons set forth in the several opinions of the Family Court during the course of this protracted and difficult litigation. The several opinions of the Family Court seem to us to represent a conscientious, thoughtful and sensitive analysis of a complicated and changing factual pattern in the light of the governing principles of law. After a review of the record, we are persuaded that the dispositive determinations of the Family Court' are in all respects supported by clear and convincing evidence. Concur — Murphy, P.
