1Opinion of the CourtCoughlin, J.

The sole issue on this appeal is whether the trial court abused its discretion in denying a motion to modify a child custody order.

The controlling rule in such a. situation is stated in Foster v. Foster, 8 Cal.2d 719, 730 [68 P.2d 719] as follows: “An application for a modification of an award of custody is addressed to the sound legal discretion of the trial court, and its discretion will not be disturbed on appeal unless the record presents a clear case of an abuse of that discretion.” (In accord: Munson v. Munson, 27 Cal.2d 659, 666 [166 P.2d 268].)
