The respondent father brought a motion seeking increased parenting time, aiming for equal residential time, and shared decision-making for the parties' almost 7-year-old daughter.
The applicant mother opposed the extent of the father's request.
Given the disputed facts and high parental conflict, the court ordered the Office of the Children's Lawyer (OCL) to conduct a clinical investigation.
Pending the OCL report, the court granted a temporary, gradually increasing parenting schedule for the father, including video calls, Friday visits, and eventually alternate Friday overnights.
The mother was also ordered to complete a parenting program, consult with the father on major decisions, and share child-related information.
Costs were deferred.
