The opinion
KENT E. KAROHL, Justice,
dissenting.
I concur with Judge Hoff in the analysis and holding on the substantive issues of the appeal and the cross-appeal. However, the appropriate result would be a remand to permit the trial court to reconsider and redecide all the custody issues. It has broad discretion in deciding these issues. We do not. In light of our decision rejecting the two-year limitation on the modification of these issues, it would be more appropriate for the trial court to reconsider all of the modification of custody issues. There would be no need for additional evidence, but that would be at the court’s discretion.
