L. D. v. B. D.
Superior Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
SPAETH, Judge:
This is a child custody case. The lower court awarded custody of a boy, now five years old, to his mother. The boy’s father has appealed. The lower court held a full hearing and filed a comprehensive opinion. We therefore accept the court’s findings. We do not, however, accept the court’s inferences from its findings, for in drawing those inferences, the court did not treat the parties equally but, rather, favored the mother.
