Syllabus

The trial court did not err in awarding custody of 10-year-old boy to his biological father rather than his maternal aunt after the death of the boy's mother. Although maternal aunt with whom boy had lived since mother's death argued that child's best interest would be served by his remaining in her home, the evidence did not establish the boy's father to be an unsuitable parent, which was the proper test. Aunt also was not prejudiced by court's delay in rendering a final judgment. Judgment affirmed.
