The father brought a motion to change a 2014 final order to seek joint decision-making and equal parenting time for the parties' two children.
The mother opposed the motion, seeking to maintain her sole decision-making authority and the father's alternate weekend parenting time.
The court found that the mother had unjustifiably marginalized the father's role in the children's lives and failed to communicate important information regarding their health and education.
While the court declined to order joint decision-making due to the high level of conflict, it ordered that the mother retain sole decision-making subject to a robust duty to consult the father.
The court also granted the father's request for equal parenting time on a 2-2-3 rotating schedule, finding it in the children's best interests to maximize their time with him.
