The applicant sought joint custody of his two biological children with the respondent.
The respondent sought custody of all three children (including her daughter from a previous relationship) and child support.
The court determined that the applicant demonstrated a settled intention to treat the respondent's daughter as a child of his family under the Family Law Act.
The court also imputed income to the applicant for child support purposes, finding his reported income unreliable based on his lifestyle, expenses, and business operations.
The court ordered child support for all three children based on an imputed annual income of $50,000.
