The father brought a motion to change, and the mother brought a cross-motion, primarily concerning child support adjustments and parenting arrangements for their 14-year-old child.
The court determined the annual child support adjustments retroactively from April 1, 2015, based on the methodology prescribed in a previous 2013 Order, including the treatment of a severance payment as income and the calculation of s.7 expenses with tax credits and a $1,500 activity cap.
The mother's request for sole religious custody was dismissed, as was her request for non-variable child support.
The court made minor adjustments to the parenting schedule, including transfer locations, pick-up/drop-off times, March Break sharing, and telephone access, but dismissed both parties' requests for more significant changes, emphasizing the child's best interests and the existing delicate balance in a high-conflict co-parenting relationship.
