KAROHL, Judge.

Kevin Worley (Father) appeals judgment terminating joint legal custody and granting sole legal custody to Donna Haynes (Mother); awarding legal expenses to Mother; denying his motion to grant physical custody to him. Father argues the court lacked grounds for the change from joint legal custody; the court erred in awarding legal fees because Mother had sufficient means to pay; the court erred in denying physical custody to him because Mother’s environment is unstable while his is stable and nurturing and the child expressed a preference to live with him. We affirm.
