The applicant sought exclusive possession of the matrimonial home due to the respondent's creation of an intolerable living environment, characterized by filth and damage.
The respondent moved to set aside an ex parte order granting exclusive possession, alleging material non-disclosure and seeking his own exclusive possession and primary residency of the children.
The court dismissed the respondent's motion and granted the applicant's renewed motion, finding compelling evidence of the deplorable living conditions and the respondent's inadequate explanations.
The court also granted the applicant interim sole decision-making and primary residency for the children, with parenting time for the respondent based on the children's wishes.
