The father brought a second motion to change parenting time, seeking increased time, changes to communication methods, and transfer locations.
The mother sought dismissal.
The court first addressed whether a material change in circumstances had occurred, finding that the termination of a restraining order and alleged visit cancellations by the mother did not constitute a material change.
Despite this, the court proceeded to analyze the child's best interests, giving significant weight to the child's expressed views and preferences from a Voice of the Child report, which indicated the child's stress from ongoing litigation and desire for the current schedule with flexibility.
The court dismissed the father's motion to change, maintaining the existing parenting order with minor amendments to allow for flexibility and direct communication between the child and either parent.
