The applicant father brought a motion to change a final order that granted custody of the children to the respondent mother, seeking sole custody and primary residence.
The father alleged that the mother's parenting was deficient and that the children wished to live with him.
The court found no material change in circumstances, noting that the ongoing high conflict was primarily driven by the father's abusive and denigrating conduct towards the mother.
The court held that a change in custody was not in the children's best interests and dismissed the motion, leaving the original custody and access order in place.
