The respondent mother brought a motion for a temporary order imposing a parenting regime and determining the child's school.
The parties, who had a history of conflict, could not agree on which Catholic elementary school the child should attend, and the applicant father had unilaterally enrolled the child in his preferred school.
The court found that while neither school was demonstrably superior, a decision had to be made in the best interests of the child to ensure stability.
The court ordered temporary joint custody, primary residence with the mother, and enrollment in the mother's preferred school, while maintaining the status quo parenting schedule.
