101 Wash. 683 | Wash. | 1918
This appeal is from an order of the lower court granting a writ of habeas corpus to the respondent for the possession of a minor child, and denying to the appellants the right to modify a decree of divorce.
The admitted facts are substantially as follows: In April, 1909, a decree was entered in the superior court for King county granting to Irene Beers a divorce from her husband, Fred E. Beers. The decree awarded the custody of the two minor children, Evelyn and Gladys Beers, to their mother. Afterwards, in the year 1912, Fred E. Beers filed a petition to modify the ■decree as to the custody of the children. Hpon a hearing of this petition, the court granted the modification and awarded the custody of one of the children, Gladys Beers, to her father. Upon appeal to this court, that ■order of modification was affirmed. Beers v. Beers, 74
“The question before us is not whether the lower court arrived at a correct conclusion by an incorrect process of reasoning, but whether, considering all the evidence, its decision was the proper one to be entered. . . .” Kane v. Dawson, 52 Wash. 411, 100 Pac. 837.
The order appealed from is therefore affirmed.
