1Opinion of the Court

GRAY, Justice.

[¶1] Two years after entry of an Order Approving Stipulation on Paternity, Custody and Visitation, Jacob A. Smith (Father) filed a complaint to modify custody claiming there was a material change in circumstances. After a two-day hearing on the matter, the district court determined there had been no material change and denied Father's complaint. He appeals from that decision. We affirm.

ISSUE

[¶2] We consolidate the issues presented by Father into a single issue:

Did the district court abuse its discretion when it determined no material change of circumstances occurred?
