1. ““The precise question relating to supersedeas, which is presented to us on this review, is whether there is a logical reason for a distinction between two appeals, the one involving an ordinary change of custody of minor children (Bailey v. Superior Court, [ 97 Ariz. 293 , 399 P.2d 907 ,] supra), and the other case being an appeal involving specific findings and order of the trial court relating to the necessity of a temporary change of custody, pending any appeal, in order to safeguard the safety, welfare and care of the minor children.” Allison v. Ovens, 102 Ariz. 520, 522 , 433 P.2d 968, 970 (1967).”

2. ““That the facts of the instant case are squarely within Gotthelf, supra, there can be no doubt. Therefore, for a change to be made in the custody of the children pending appeals it would have, to be through juvenile proceedings or by application to this court for some proper order. This is the procedure this court has held to be proper and in the best interests of children during appeal.” Allison v. Ovens, supra, 102 Ariz. at 520 , 433 P.2d at 971 .”
