*234WEIMER, Justice.
| tThis matter involves a custody contest between the biological father and the maternal grandmother, who was designated as the domiciliary parent in a consent decree.1 Because of conflicting analysis of this issue by the courts of appeal, we granted a writ to determine the standard for adjudicating a request for increased custodial rights brought by a biological parent who shares joint custody with a grandparent, and the biological parent has earlier stipulated that the grandparent should be designated as having the rights and responsibilities of a domiciliary parent.
