A custody and access trial involving a high-conflict separation between parents of a young child.
The father sought sole custody and limited access for the mother, while the mother sought custody with equal time-sharing.
The court found both parents competent but determined the mother should have custody based on her demonstrated willingness to support the child's relationship with the father, contrasting with the father's initial proposal to relocate the child to New York with minimal maternal contact.
The court ordered alternate weekly time-sharing with the father paying child support and spousal support on a declining scale.
