The parties, parents of a nine-year-old child, engaged in a high-conflict family law trial regarding parenting and child support.
The applicant father sought sole decision-making and primary residence, alleging the respondent mother suffered from serious mental illnesses that impaired her parenting.
The mother sought sole decision-making and primary residence, arguing the father's persistent conflict caused the child's anxiety.
The court found no evidence of serious mental illness on the mother's part.
The court granted the mother primary residence and sole decision-making authority, with the father receiving parenting time three weekends out of four.
The court also ordered the father to pay table child support based on an imputed income of $25,000, and established a rigid parenting schedule and communication protocol to minimize conflict.
