MASSEY, Justice,

¶1concurring.

¶2I concur with the majority solely because of the expressions therein condemning “split custody” in the absence of any evidence on the prior trial of clear and compelling reasons therefor.

¶3I was author of this court’s opinion in Wood v. Wood, 510 S.W.2d 399 (Tex.Civ.*128App.-Fort Worth 1974, no writ) in which I went into detail on the matter of sufficiency of evidence to support a change of custody decree because of continuous interference with visitation rights of a parent out of custody. Despite amendment of the Texas Family Code, I adhere thereto.
