2. ““[I]n cases of this nature, it appears to us that in determining . . . custody of a minor child ... the evidence of the custodial parent’s behavior during the year or so before the hearing ... is of more significance than the behavior prior to that time. What we are interested in is the best interests of the child now and in the immediate future, and how the custodial parent is behaving now is therefore of greater significance than past behavior when attempting to determine the best interests of the child.””
