The applicant father brought a motion for a temporary parenting schedule and the appointment of a parenting capacity assessor pending trial.
The respondent mother consented to the appointment of the assessor but proposed a more restrictive parenting schedule.
The court ordered the appointment of the agreed-upon assessor with costs shared equally.
Finding no evidence of risk to the child and emphasizing the need to foster the father-child relationship, the court expanded the applicant's parenting time and assumed case management of the proceeding.
