Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion when it overruled Mother's motion for a change of custody the evidence presented in support of the motion was insufficient to establish that a change of circumstances had occurred requiring modification of the existing custody order. The trial court also did not abuse its discretion when it did not hold Father in contempt for allegedly interfering with Mother's court-ordered visitation on Thanksgiving weekend 2017 and allegedly limiting her access to their youngest child while the child was attending daycare. The trial court did not err when it declined to add the parties' oldest daughter as a third party to the proceedings and to appoint her counsel, based on her statements that she wanted to live with Mother. Judgment affirmed.
