The respondent father brought a motion seeking primary residence of the children, exclusive possession of the matrimonial home, and other relief prior to a case conference.
He alleged urgency based on the condition of the home and the mother's employment at a nursing home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the evidence did not establish urgency or undue hardship under Rule 14(4.2) of the Family Law Rules.
The mother was awarded costs of $3,000.
