ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is a proper person appeal from a district court order concerning child custody. Second Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Washoe County; Chuck Weller, Judge.
Having considered appellant's proper person appeal statement and the district court record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying appellant's motion to modify the parties' legal custody rights regarding their minor child. See Wallace v. Wallace, 112 Nev. 1015, 922 P.2d 541 (1996) (providing that a district court's child custody decision will not be overturned absent an abuse of discretion); Ellis v. Carucci, 123 Nev. 145, 161 P.3d 239 (2007) (providing that custody may be modified if the moving party demonstrates a substantial change in circumstances that affects the child's welfare and the child's best interest is served by the modification); see also Mosley v. Figliuzzi, 113 Nev. 51, 60–61, 930 P.2d 1110, 1116 (1997) (providing that evidence of bickering and uncooperative parenting, without demonstrating any adverse affect on the child, does not warrant modification of child custody). Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
