1Opinion of the Court

LAWSON, Justice.

This is an appeal from a decree of the Circuit Court of Etowah County, in Equity, denying a petition to modify a decree awarding custody of minor children.

On December 10, 1957, Aileen Featherston obtained a divorce from her husband, Charles Featherston, on the ground of voluntary abandonment. The custody of their four minor children was awarded to the father in accordance with an agreement of the parties. Apparently the mother was given the right to visit the children at all reasonable times. The decree of December 10, 1957, is not in the record presently under consideration.
