Either or both may have a substantial change of circumstances to justify a modification of a decree.

It can apply to either one. Not only do you have to establish the substantial and material change in circumstances, you must also establish, to the court's satisfaction, that the requested modification of the previous custody order is in the best interests of the child(ren).
