The father produced two medical experts who testified that the mother was suffering from schizophrenia with marked paranoid tendencies. The mother had a medical expert who testified that she did not suffer from mental illness. The Court stated that their duty is to decide the case de novo and to take the facts as recorded in the trial court record which found the mother to be suffering from a mental illness.)
