Melchiori V. Kooi

Aaron Eugene Melchiori and Shannon Caye Kooi are the parents of Riley L. Melchiori. Riley was born April 22, 1999. Aaron and Shannon never married. In February of 2000, when Riley was ten months old, an order was entered establishing Aaron as Riley's birth father. The order provided Aaron and Shannon should have joint custody of Riley and they should have joint physical care. The order provided that Riley should be with each parent half the time and each parent should provide one-half his support. In September of 2000 Aaron filed an application to modify the order contending there had been a change of circumstances since the entry of the custody order and that the order should be modified and he should be granted primary physical care.
