Kester v. Kester

DUNN, Chief Justice.

This is an appeal from a judgment entered by the Circuit Court of the Seventh Judicial Circuit granting custody of a minor child * to the father, Richard Kester, on May 6, 1976. The father had also been awarded temporary custody of the child pending trial of the matter. The parties were both granted a divorce on the grounds of mental cruelty, but that part of the judgment is not being appealed. We reverse and direct the trial court to modify its judgment and decree of divorce to grant custody of the minor child of tender years to the mother, Joan Kester.
