Virden finds the trial court properly entered a change of custody order as to the divorced parties’ older minor daughter, and awarding custody of the younger daughter to the father. The trial court analyzed the custody arrangements under different standards, finding the living arrangements had significantly changed due to the father’s relocation. The mother failed to rebut the presumption that the relocation is in the older child’s best interest. The father testified that he had been convicted of sexual assault before the parties married. Though the mother asks the court of appeals to simply reverse and grant her custody, this court cannot act as a fact-finding body, and must reverse and remand for a specific finding on whether father posed no danger. Affirmed in part. Reversed in part and remanded.
