The father brought an interim parenting motion seeking sole decision-making responsibility and primary residency of the parties' six-year-old child, with a specific concern that the mother had not enrolled the child in school.
The mother sought an adjournment to retain new counsel.
The court granted the adjournment for the broader parenting issues but decided the urgent issue of school attendance.
Finding that in-person schooling is presumed to be in a child's best interests and noting the child's need for socialization and speech therapy, the court granted the father temporary decision-making authority over education and ordered the child to be immediately enrolled in in-person learning.
