1Opinion of the Court

This is a child custody modification case.

The parties were divorced in July 1979. Two children, Staci Lynn Grimwood, now eleven, and Anna Beth Grimwood, now six, were born of the marriage. The mother was granted custody of the children. In August 1983 the father successfully petitioned to modify the divorce decree, and regained custody of the children based on the mother's use of illegal drugs and her cohabitation with a member of the opposite sex. In April 1984 the mother petitioned to modify to regain custody of the children. From the denial of her petition the mother appeals. We affirm.
