Muirhead vs. Muirhead

This appeal involves the custody of four minor children following dissolution of a sixteen (16) year marriage. The trial court awarded a divorce to Father on the ground of inappropriate marital conduct but awarded custody of the parties' four minor children to Mother. The trial court set child support, awarded rehabilitative alimony, and divided the marital property, awarding Mother the marital residence. The Mother appeals the property division and alimony award. The Father appeals the award of custody. We reverse the trial court's award of custody because Father is comparatively more fit than Mother to have custody, modify the award of rehabilitative alimony, vacate the child support award, and remand to the trial court for child support and visitation issues.
