OPINION

CARPENETI, Justice.

I. INTRODUCTION

Following a custody trial, the superior court awarded custody of the parties' three-year-old daughter to her father. Because the court's finding that the father was more likely than the mother to offer a loving relationship between the child and the other parent was not clearly erroneous, and because the court did not abuse its discretion in considering each parent's capability to care for the child and in assessing the stability offered by each parent, we affirm the superi- or court's custody decision.
