The parties separated and initially agreed to a graduated shared parenting schedule.
Following an incident where the mother was charged with assaulting one of the children (charges later withdrawn), the father sought sole decision-making and primary residence.
The Office of the Children's Lawyer (OCL) recommended sole custody to the father with limited parenting time for the mother.
The court rejected the OCL's recommendations, finding the investigation flawed and the father's unilateral actions concerning.
The court ordered a week-on/week-off shared parenting schedule and a parallel parenting regime, granting the mother final decision-making authority over health and the father final decision-making authority over education.
