South Dakota Supreme Court July 29, 1981, 13251 (Barrett v. Barrett)

*885

MORGAN, Justice.

This appeal arose from a divorce decree and its subsequent amendment concerning child support. Ann Marie Barrett left the legal custody of her father, Arthur Barrett (appellant), to live with Mary Barrett (ap-pellee), her mother on May 17, 1979. Ap-pellee initiated contempt proceedings for, inter alia, appellant’s failure to pay support for Ann Marie.
