Billie Jane Williams and Lawson Williams were divorced in 1951: By agreement, the judgment awarded custody of their two-year-old sоn to, the father, with the customary prоvision thát the custody might be changed itpоn motion in the future “as the circumstanсes of the parties may changе.” In January 1952 the mother moved for custody, which the court denied. Another motion by the mother in March 1954 also was denied. In November 1955 she again moved for custody, and again an order was entеred denying the relief sought. - On each mоtion evidence ’was heard. The рresent appeal is from the order entered upon the November 1955 motion.
It is the established rule that a decree of divorce fixing the custody of a child may be modified only upоn a showing of a change of conditions. Cole v. Cole,
The chief complaint of the mother is that her former husband and his present wife have permitted thе boy to spend most of his time-'with his paternal grandmother, who operatеs a beauty shop and had living quarters in a building in which a close male friend of thе grandmother operates a barber shop and also has living quarters. Thе evidence shows that this condition hаs existed ever since the divorce and if there has been any change since March 1954 it has been for the better, in that the second wife of the boy’s father has quit work and now is able to dеvote more time and attention tо the boy, and the grandmother no longer lives in the barber shop building. There has bеen no material change in the mother’s circumstances.
We cannot say that the chancellor erred-in determining that there had not been a sufficient showing of a change of conditions to warrant a change of custody of the child.
The judgment is affirmed..
