This is an interim parenting motion concerning a ten-year-old daughter following the parents' separation in January 2022.
The case involves complex family dynamics including allegations of physical abuse by the father towards the seventeen-year-old son in April 2024, and the daughter's disclosure in August 2024 of sibling sexual abuse.
The mother sought sole decision-making authority and primary parenting time with a 90-day "black-out period" while the father sought sole decision-making authority and continuation of restricted parenting time for the mother.
The court rejected both proposals as contrary to the daughter's best interests and adopted a middle-ground approach, ordering joint decision-making with parenting coach support, expanded overnight parenting time for the mother, and therapeutic interventions including SAFE-T programming and family therapy.
