Description
The petitioner, David G. Wechselberger, who we will refer to as the father, appeals from an order of the trial court which denied his custody-modification petition, in which he sought to transfer custody of the parties' two minor children from the respondent, Mary Wechselberger, who we will refer to as the mother, to himself. On appeal, the father contends, in essence, that the trial court's order denying the change of custody was contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence. In June 1978, the father filed a petition for dissolution of the parties' 1971 marriage. The trial court granted the petition and dissolved the marriage. The dissolution judgment incorporated a marriage settlement agreement which, among other things, awarded custody of the parties' two minor children, David (age 6) and Kathy (age 4), to the mother. The judgment also granted the father reasonable visitation rights. Subsequently, on January 10, 1980, the court entered an agreed order which, among other matters, set forth the times that the father would have a right to visit with the children: every other weekend, every other major holiday and birthday, and a two-week vacation period.
