Murphy v. Murphy

OPINION

By the Court,

Zenoff, J.:

Appellant father and respondent mother were divorced in July 1963. Temporary physical custody of the two children, a boy and a girl, was given to the mother with technical legal custody in the Washoe County Welfare Department. In June 1964 the temporary physical custody of the children was given to the father. Over three years later, in November 1967, the mother moved for return of custody to her. In February 1968, after a hearing, the custody was again given to the mother. At that time the boy was 12 years old and the girl was 10 years old.
