Description

This is a child custody case in which we are required to decide if the facts here shown make the exceptional case which is prerequisite to a new and independent determination of child custody rights from that decreed by the court of a sister state. Emily Grimes, the natural mother of seven-year old Christina Maria Sewell, joined by her present husband, Johnny Grimes, instituted this suit in the Dallam County District Court against the paternal aunt and uncle of Christina, Barbara Jean Knowles and Jerry Knowles, who were awarded custody of Christina on January 18, 1967, by the Circuit Court of Mobile, Alabama, with the provision that Christina would be permitted to visit the Grimes during the summer of 1967. The suit sought a change in the custody rights decreed by the Alabama Court and was filed on July 14, 1967, during the time Christina was visiting the Grimes. Trial to the court was held on September 16, 1967, after which the court found that the Grimes had "failed to prove their allegations of material changes in conditions since the rendition of the aforesaid judgment of the Mobile, Alabama Court such as to warrant this court in changing custody of the minor child"; it was decreed that the terms of the judgment of the Alabama Court should be "abided by all parties." We construe this judgment as a decision by the trial court that the showing of changed conditions prerequisite to a new determination of custody rights was not made. Upon appeal, the Court of Civil Appeals reversed the judgment of the trial court and rendered judgment that the care, custody and control of Christina be awarded to Mrs. Grimes. 431 S.W.2d 602. The Knowles are Petitioners here, and we reverse the judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals and affirm that of the trial court.
