““We concur with the contentions ■ made by both parties to the effect that the trial court abused its discretion in dividing the custody of the child between its parents, together with their parents, respectively. ’This cotirt and other Texas courts have many times held that the custody of a child of tender years should riot' be divided in an action such as this unless such is done by reason of the existence of special conditions which make such a division . absolutely necessary. This court passed on an’ issue such as this early this year in the case of Anderson v. Martin, Tex.Civ.App., 257 S.W.2d 347 , and there cited most, if not all, of the authorities here cited' by both parties concerning the issue of divided custody.” 267 S.W.2d 577, 579 .”
