## Opinion text

Rogers, J., concurring. I agree with and join in the reversal of the chancery court’s decision. The dissent glosses over the facts that the noncustodial parent quit his job, did not pay support at times and that the custodial parent’s desire to enter nursing school had been long standing and was interrupted by her pregnancy. The training was only of a year’s duration and was an honest attempt for this woman to place herself in a position where she could more ably support herself and her child. Additionally, the child was not of school age and more flexible, longer time periods vC^ith each parent could accomplish the same ends as prohibiting the mother from leaving the jurisdiction. She was faced with a true dilemma and like the biblical mother sacrificed herself for her child.
