A custody and access dispute between the mother and father of a child born in 2006.
The father sought custody with supervised access to the mother; the mother sought sole custody and spousal support on a time-limited basis.
The court found extensive evidence of emotional and verbal abuse by the father toward the mother, the child in question, and the mother's other children from previous relationships.
The court awarded sole custody to the mother, restricted the father's access to every second weekend and every second Wednesday, and ordered child support and time-limited spousal support.
The court found the father's disciplinary methods, including attempting to "break the child's spirit" to be inappropriate and harmful.
