1Opinion of the Court

SIMON, Judge.

This is an appeal from an order of the trial court overruling father’s motion to modify the custody provision of a decree of dissolution.

Father’s appeal is based on two contentions: First, father contends that the trial judge conducted an improper “in chambers” interview with the parties’ eight year old son; second, father contends that the trial court’s order was not supported by substantial evidence and was against the weight of the evidence. We conclude that neither of these contentions have merit and therefore affirm the order of the trial court.
