J.P. v. P.W

ALMON H. MAUS, JUDGE The genesis of this proceeding is a Texas decree placing a two-year-old girl in the primary custody of her mother, but granting
the father "possessory custody" for ten days every other month. The mother filed in the Circuit Court of Butler County, Missouri,
a motion to modify by restricting visitation by the father to visitation in her presence. Upon hearing that motion, the circuit
court entered a decree which included a provision that during the father's visitation or temporary custody "neither the Respondent's
present lover nor any other male with whom the Respondent may be residing shall be in the child's presence or in the Respondent's
home during such visits." The mother appeals contending that restriction is not adequate. The father appeals contending the
restriction was improperly imposed. The appeals have been consolidated for submission and Disposition.
