## Opinion text

I concur in the affirmance of the judgment modifying custody and in the reversal of the trial court's refusal to rule on the matter of a child-support arrearage. I dissent, however, from the reversal of that portion of the trial court's judgment concluding that the father was not required to obtain other life insurance coverage and to name the child as the beneficiary. I would affirm the trial court's judgment as to the life-insurance issue. See Rau v. Rau , 429 So.2d 593 (Ala.Civ.App. 1982). See also Frawley v. U.S. Steel Mining Co. , 496 So.2d 731 (Ala. 1986); Brown v. Brown , 680 So.2d 321 (Ala.Civ.App. 1996).
