ORDER MODIFYING OPINION;
(NO CHANGE IN JUDGMENT)
THE COURT:*
The per curiam opinion filed on January 23, 2015 and modified and certified for publication on February 9, 2015, is further modified as follows:
1. On page 3, second paragraph: Add the phrase ?, while present
at the hearing,? following the words ?Father?s counsel.? As revised, the second sentence of the second paragraph on page 3 should read: ?Respondent
court recognized that Father?s counsel had a right
to cross-examine the child custody investigator, and the court further acknowledged that Father?s counsel, while present at the hearing,
was physically unable to
represent Father at the hearing
because of counsel?s
illness.?
2. On page 4, last line of the page: Change ?matter? to ?manner.? As corrected, the last sentence of the page should read: ?The best interests of the children require that the parents? competing claims be heard in a calm, dispassionate manner, with adequate time to marshal and present evidence.?
This modification does not change the judgment.
* Before Aronson, Acting P.J., Ikola, J., and Thompson, J.
