The applicant mother sought sole custody and primary residence of the parties' two children, while the respondent father sought joint custody and equal time-sharing.
The court found that the parties' high conflict and inability to communicate made joint custody unworkable.
The mother was granted sole decision-making authority, with the father retaining authority over dental care and specific sports.
The children were ordered to reside primarily with the mother during the school year, with equal time-sharing during summer and holidays.
The court also determined the parties' incomes for child support purposes, disallowing the mother's rental losses and adding back most of the father's business expenses, and ordered retroactive adjustments for child support, section 7 expenses, and post-separation family expenses.
