II. SALLY BRIGHT IS UPROOTING CHASTITY BRIGHT FROM a STABLE ENVIRONMENT WHERE SHE FEELS COMFORTABLE. FURTHERMORE, SHE WILL NOT MAKE ENOUGH MONEY in HER NEW POSITION to PROPERLY SUPPORT THEIR DAUGHTER.
John Bright does not question Sally Bright's parenting skills. What he questions is whether or not she is doing serious emotional damage to their daughter, Chastity by uprooting her from surroundings she has become familiar with. He also worries that Sally will not be able to fully provide for their teenage daughter given the salary of $35,000 that she will make at her new job. If Chastity remains with him (as she has expressed a desire to do so), he can more than adequately provide for his daughter and ensure that she remains in the stable environment she is used to. John Bright feels that this divorce has been difficult for his daughter and he does not wish to make her life any more stressful.

Also, staying with John will mean that Chastity will not be uprooted which would therefore prevent any additional emotional trauma the child might be experiencing because of her parent's divorce.
