Overview: Trial court did not err in modifying custody of six-year-old child in father's favor; evidence showed modification was warranted pursuant to Ind. Code § 31-17-2-21 because the relationship between child and father had substantially changed due to mother's efforts to cut off father's visitation and that modification was in child's best interests.

Overview: Trial court properly applied Ind. Code § 35-38-1-7.5, the sexually violent predator law, at a probation violation sentencing.
