Opinion
63253.
DECIDED APRIL 6, 1982. REHEARING DENIED APRIL 22, 1982.
Child custody. Bulloch Superior Court. Before Judge Martin.
Arlene Keely DeLoach, Michael C. Eubanks, for appellant.
Robert S. Lanier, for appellee.
Appellant-father and appellee-mother were divorced in February of 1977, at which time custody of their sole minor child was awarded to appellee. Subsequently, appellant instituted the instant action seeking custody of the child based upon his contentions that a material change in conditions and circumstances relating to appellee rendered a change of custody in the best interests of the minor child. The trial court denied appellant's petition and this court granted a discretionary appeal pursuant to Code Ann. § 6-701.1.
After a thorough review of the entire record, we find reasonable evidence to support the judgment of the trial court. Robinson v. Ashmore, 232 Ga. 498, 500 ( 207 S.E.2d 484) (1974); Foster v. Foster, 241 Ga. 470 ( 246 S.E.2d 196) (1978). "Since the evidence did authorize the court's judgment, we refuse to hold that the trial court abused its discretion in denying [appellant's] petition. [Cits.]" Carter v. Foster, 158 Ga. App. 701 ( 282 S.E.2d 180) (1981).
Judgment affirmed. Quillian, C. J., and Shulman, P. J., concur.
