1Opinion of the CourtJustice Day

This writ of error seeks to reverse a custodial order entered by the district court of El Paso County, changing the custody of a minor son of the parties from the mother to the father. This cause, therefore, is within the realm of those cases wherein the established rule of this court, as well as other jurisdictions dealing with custody problems, is that custodial orders are within the sound discretion of the trial court. Miller v. Miller, 79 Colo. 609, 247 Pac. 567; Emerson v. Emerson, 117 Colo. 384, 188 P. (2d) 252.
