Description
We must confess the oversight. We have examined the record carefully and so far as we are able to ascertain, it discloses no blot upon the character of appellant. On the contrary it would indicate that he is a highly respected, reliable and responsible citizen of the state of Pennsylvania. While it is true the trial court had the opportunity to observe the parties during the course of trial and discern whatever bitterness there existed between them at the time, yet we can find nothing in the record to justify the trial court in believing that appellant would deliberately or at all violate the judgment of that court. To maintain a continuing bond of $25,000 for the privilege of having his children with him for 30 days a year until 1952 and 60 days each year thereafter, we believe to be an undue burden upon appellant and that his character and his standing in the community in which he lived are such that the court would have been warranted in placing his children with him as provided for in the judgment without any undertaking whatsoever. In short, we find nothing in the record that justifies such action on the part of the trial court. We therefore hold that the lower court erred in requiring bond of him conditioned that he would abide by the terms of the judgment relating to the custody of his children.
