Kathleen Peppers Morgan v. Charles William

HARWOOD, Justice. This record shows that on 5 February 1949, Kathleen Peppers Morgan was granted a decree of divorce from
Charles William Morgan. Under said decree the custody of the two minor children of the marriage, a son and a daughter, was
awarded to Kathleen Peppers Morgan, and a written agreement between the parties as to child support was ratified and approved.
By virtue of this agreement the court decreed that Charles William Morgan, the respondent, was to pay the sum of $20.00 per
month for the support, maintenance and education of each child until they reached 21 years of age. The support payments were
to be made to the Register on the first day of each month. The decree itself awarded no visitation rights to the father, though
the agreement did provide for visitation rights. On 9 March 1963 the father, Charles William Morgan, filed his petition seeking to amend the original divorce decree by awarding
to him the custody of the minor son. The petition alleges that his former wife has remarries and that the son who was 15 years
of age at the time of the filing of the petition was residing with his mother and her husband James Stoner, Jr.
