The appellant father appealed a trial judge's decision on a motion to change a final custody order.
The trial judge had found a material change in circumstances but ordered that the parties continue to have joint custody of the child with a parallel parenting regime, and that the child's primary residence remain with the respondent mother.
The father argued he should have been granted sole custody.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding that the trial judge made no errors of law, her findings of fact were supported by the evidence, and she made no palpable and overriding error in determining that joint custody remained in the child's best interests.
