INGRAM, Justice.

We granted certiorari review to examine the standard of review the Court of Civil Appeals applied in this child custody case. After reviewing the record, we hold that the Court of Civil Appeals correctly reversed the judgment of the trial court; however, it erred in applying the best interest standard.

For the facts leading up to the custody dispute surrounding the minor child in this case, see the opinion of the Court of Civil Appeals.
