Court entered dissolution of marriage order wherein court granted father parenting time with parties' minor child (then age 4) every other Tuesday evening and every other Wednesday evening through Friday morning. Six years later, father filed motion to modify parenting time to every Wednesday and Thursday instead of every other Tuesday. Court properly granted mother's motion to dismiss, finding that father's request was not a "minor modification". Father failed to allege specific facts supporting his motion, and court properly declined to accept his conclusory allegations as true. Father's request was not "minor modification" as it would change parenting plan from one parent serving as primary custodial parent to both parents having equal parenting time.(HOLDER WHITE and APPLETON, concurring.)
