Description
We granted certiorari to review the decision of the court of appeals in the case In re the Marriage of Karen S. Wall and Frank N. Wall, 851 P.2d 224 (1992). In that case the court of appeals held that a motion by a non-custodial parent seeking a modification from sole custody to joint custody may be granted without a showing of endangerment to a child's health or an impairment of the child's emotional development as is required under section 14-10-131(2), 6B C.R.S. (1987), and that instead, the proper standard for assessing the propriety of such a motion is governed by section 14-10-131.5(4), 6B C.R.S. (1987), the "best interest of the child" standard. In so holding, the court of appeals upheld the trial court's order modifying custody of the Wall children from sole custody in the father to joint custody in the father and the mother. We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals.
