In Re the Marriage of Walter

*723SCHWAB, C. J.

In this dissolution-of-marriage proceeding, the trial court awarded wife custody of the parties’ two children subject to reasonable visitation by husband, but conditioned the award of custody by requiring that wife not cohabit1 with a man not her husband while the children were in her custody.
