1Opinion of the Court

McCORMICK, Justice.

This appeal presents a problem concerning joint custody. Petitioner Dennie Lloyd Bolin (Dennie) and Monna Lea Bolin (Molly) were awarded joint custody of their son Damien, born January 4, 1977, in a dissolution decree entered February 16, 1982. Subsequently, however, they could not agree on which of them would have physical care of the child during the ensuing school year. On September 14, 1982, Den-nie filed an application for modification of the decree to give him sole custody. The trial court granted the application and Molly appealed. We reverse and remand.
