A custody and access dispute between two parents following separation.
The father sought sole custody and limited access for the mother, while the mother sought shared parenting arrangements.
The Office of the Children's Lawyer investigated and recommended sole custody to the father with specified access to the mother.
However, after a full trial, the court found that the father had engaged in parental alienation, interference with the mother's access time, and domestic violence.
The court rejected the OCL recommendations and instead ordered a parallel parenting arrangement with rotating weekly residence of the children, finding that the father was unable to facilitate meaningful contact between the children and their mother.
