Nichols v. Nichols

A default decree of divorce was granted to the plaintiff in July, 1964. The decree gave plaintiff custody of Lynda Dawn Nichols, the minor child of the parties. Both parties thereafter petitioned the court for relief on several occasions. As the result of one such petition, the court modified the decree by granting custody of the child to the defendant. The order here appealed from was entered June 3,1969, nunc pro tunc as of May 23,1969, following an evidentiary hearing on February 5, 1969. That order re-transferred the custody of the minor child from the defendant to the plaintiff.
