The Court is, once again, faced with the task of applying well settled principles of law to a set of factual cir cumstances. It is a well settled principal of law that there is a rebuttable presumption that joint custody is in the best interest of the child. Guillory v. Guillory , App. 3RD Cir. 1992, 602 So. 2D. 769. It is also well settled that the former husband did not have burden of establishing that joint custody was in best interest of children in proceeding on his rule to change custody provision of divorce decree but rather, party opposing joint custody had burden of rebutting statutory presumption in favor of joint custody.
