The court granted the father equal temporary parenting time, finding it in the children's best interests despite the mother's reliance on brief, negative notes from the child's therapist.
The parties, an unmarried couple, each brought a motion to change parenting time for their two children.
The applicant father sought to expand his parenting time to an equal regime, while the respondent mother sought to reduce the father's parenting time and requested Office of the Children's Lawyer (OCL) involvement.
The court granted the father's request for equal temporary parenting time, finding his proposal to be in the children's best interests, and dismissed the mother's request to reduce time.
The court also requested OCL involvement and made orders regarding pick-up/drop-off locations and telephone access.
Costs were awarded to the father.
