Troy Buckles vs. Shira Riggs

Shira Dawn McKay Buckles Riggs ("Mother") and Troy Dale Buckles ("Father") were divorced in 1994. Mother was awarded custody of the parties' minor son. In 2001, Father first sought increased visitation and then custody. Mother claimed Father was in arrears in his child support payments. After a trial, the trial court concluded there had been no material change in circumstances and custody should, therefore, remain with Mother. The trial court determined Father was in arrears in his child support payments in the amount of $13,894. The trial court also prohibited both parties from drinking alcohol "while in possession of the child." Father appeals. We modify the judgment to require the parties to undergo counseling, and affirm as modified.
