1Opinion of the Court
This is a child dependency and custody case.
Following an ore tenus hearing, the Juvenile Court of Jefferson County determined that Steven Ronald Carter, age fourteen, was a dependent child. The child had been in the custody of his mother since his parents' divorce. Subsequently, following a dispositional hearing, the juvenile court placed the child in the custody of the father.
The mother appeals. We affirm.
The primary issue is whether there is clear and convincing evidence to support the determination by the juvenile court that the child is dependent. Ala. Code (1975), § 12-15-65 (e).
