On an interim parenting motion following a contentious separation, the moving party sought continuation of a week‑about parenting schedule that had been used during the summer.
The responding party requested a return to the prior schedule in which the children resided primarily with the mother and had midweek and alternating weekend access with the father.
The court considered conflicting affidavit evidence, CAS involvement, and the parents’ inability to cooperate.
Emphasizing the need for stability and the children’s best interests, the court concluded the previous access arrangement had provided stability and should be restored.
Interim custody was granted to the mother with defined access to the father and restrictions regarding certain third parties during parenting time.
