1Opinion of the Court

JOHNSON, Judge:

This is an appeal from an order awarding custody of a seven year old boy, Michael Scott Newcomer, to his father, Appellee Jeffrey King. After making a complete review of the record, we find the record and opinion below to be inadequate, and therefore vacate the order and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

The child in question was born March 16, 1975 to Appellant Paula Peterson. Appellee Jeffrey King is the natural father and Ralph and Retha King the child’s paternal grandparents, with whom Appellee Jeffrey King currently resides.
