The father brought a motion for shared parenting of the parties' three children, while the mother brought a cross-motion for primary residence and child support.
The court found that the mother had been the primary parent both prior to and following separation.
Applying the best interests of the child factors and the principle that the status quo should generally be maintained on a temporary basis absent compelling reasons, the court dismissed the father's motion and granted the mother's cross-motion.
The father was also ordered to pay temporary child support and costs of $13,500.
