Child Custody Modification
Where the parent’s agreement, which the District Court adopted in an order, provided for shared legal custody and mother’s sole physical custody while she finished a degree in North Dakota, whereupon she would return to the Twin Cities and the parties would share legal and physical custody; mother did not return to the Twin Cities after finishing her degree; and the parties’ relationship became highly contentious and hostile; we conclude that the parties’ inability to work together with respect to the child constitutes a significant change in circumstances that justified the elimination of joint custody and that the District Court did not abuse its discretion in determining that it was in the child’s best interests to award mother sole legal and physical custody, together with ordering mother to return to the Twin Cities and allowing visitation.
Affirmed. Motion granted.
