The applicant father brought a motion to change a final custody order, seeking sole custody of the two children.
His grounds included the respondent mother's alleged inability to ensure timely school attendance, marijuana use, and frequent changes in residence and schools.
The mother opposed the custody change and sought increased retroactive and prospective child support.
The court dismissed the father's motion, finding no material change in circumstances warranting a custody change.
However, the court granted the mother's request for increased child support, fixing retroactive arrears and setting a new prospective amount.
The court also ordered the children to attend a "Families in Transition" program and mandated parental adherence to school recommendations for the children's educational and therapeutic needs, particularly for Maelyn's ADHD diagnosis and Individual Education Plan.
