• reversing for abuse of discretion the trial court’s refusal to consider evidence of domestic violence prior to stipulated judgment
• explaining res judicata precludes claims raised in prior actions between the same parties, which were resolved by final judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction
• following “substantial persuasive authority that when the original custody decree is entered upon default or based upon a stipulation of the parties, a trial court errs by refusing to consider pre-divorce conduct on the change of custody issue”
