A family law trial concerning custody, access, and child support for three young children.
The applicant sought sole custody and primary residence with specified access for the respondent.
The respondent sought sole custody with supervised access for the applicant and child support from the applicant.
The trial proceeded in the absence of the respondent despite proper notice.
The court granted sole custody and primary residence to the applicant based on the applicant's evidence, affidavits from collateral witnesses, and a report from the Office of the Children's Lawyer.
The court found that joint custody was inappropriate given the parties' inability to communicate effectively and evidence of the respondent's harassing behavior during access exchanges.
Child support was ordered based on the respondent's declared income.
