The applicant mother brought a motion seeking to enroll the parties' two children in a public community school, while the respondent father sought to keep the older child in a private Lebanese Catholic school and enroll the younger child there.
The court considered a court-appointed assessor's recommendation that a neutral community school would ease conflict and allow both parents to be equally involved.
Finding the private school tuition financially unrealistic for the parties and noting the long commute, the court granted the mother's motion and ordered the children to be enrolled in a community school.
