Father penalized for contempt with temporary loss of primary residence and $11,900 in costs.
The applicant moved for a penalty after the respondent was found in contempt for failing to obey parenting and costs orders.
The respondent had denied the applicant parenting time with their 6-year-old son for over three years.
The court ordered immediate unsupervised parenting time for the applicant, temporarily changed the child's primary residence to the applicant, authorized police enforcement, and ordered the respondent to pay $11,900 in full indemnity costs.
Father ordered to pay $835 monthly child support based on imputed income due to unreliable financial evidence.
The mother brought a motion for child support, seeking to impute an income of $33,490 to the father.
The father brought a cross-motion to strike portions of the mother's affidavit for relying on unnamed third-party sources.
The court struck the offending paragraphs but found the father's financial evidence to be inconsistent and unreliable.
Noting the parties' history of fraudulent schemes and the father's failure to support the children despite having the ability to work, the court imputed the requested income and ordered the father to pay $835 monthly in child support.
The court granted unsupervised parenting time but maintained the children's new school placement.
The applicant father brought an urgent motion seeking parenting time with the four children and an order for two children to return to their previous school after the respondent mother unilaterally moved out with the children and changed their school.
The mother alleged physical and emotional abuse and sought sole custody with supervised access.
The court found the father's alleged "confession" from the mother to be coerced, indicating controlling behavior.
While acknowledging the mother's unilateral action in changing schools, the court prioritized the children's best interests, particularly regarding school stability.
The court granted the father alternate weekend parenting time with all four children and one evening per week with two children, but denied supervised access and ordered the children to remain in their new school for the current term, with the issue to be revisited.
