Before Egan, Presiding Judge, and Kamins, Judge, and Hadlock, Judge pro tempore.
HADLOCK, J. PRO TEMPORE
Mother appeals a supplemental judgment changing custody of the child, K, from mother to father. On appeal, mother argues that the trial court erred by (1) applying an incorrect legal standard when it made its change-of-custody determination; (2) determining that the facts were sufficient to justify a change of custody; (3) failing to make sufficient best-interest findings to justify a change of custody; and (4) failing to make best-interest findings when it modified the parenting-time schedule.
Having reviewed the entirety of the record and mother's arguments on appeal, we affirm the supplemental judgment. The trial court applied the correct legal standard when deciding whether to change custody from mother to father. See generally Botofan-Miller and Miller, 365 Or. 504, 446 P.3d 1280 (2019), cert den, 141 S.Ct. 134 (2020) (discussing when changed circumstances can justify a change in custody). Moreover, evidence in the record supports the court's factual findings about the child's condition and living circumstances and its ultimate determination that a change of circumstances had occurred that justified a change in custody. We therefore reject mother's first and second assignments of error.
We reject mother's third and fourth assignments of error as unpreserved and, with respect to the fourth assignment, as not meriting plain-error review. See Botofan-Miller, 365 Or at 525 (rejecting a similar argument about lack of findings because it was not preserved for appeal).
Affirmed.
