The father applied for sole custody of the parties' child, while the mother cross-applied for sole custody and child support.
The court found the father's evidence unreliable, noting his history of conflict, inappropriate parenting choices, and deliberate underemployment.
The court rejected the Office of the Children's Lawyer's recommendation to limit the mother's access, finding it unsupported by the evidence and detrimental to the child's relationship with his half-sister.
The mother was awarded sole custody, and the father was ordered to pay child support based on an imputed income of $52,000 per year, along with retroactive arrears.
