Temporary motion granted in part; father's parenting time expanded and exclusive possession of home granted.
The respondent mother brought a motion for temporary child and spousal support, while the applicant father brought a cross-motion for shared parenting, exclusive possession of the matrimonial home, and a set-off of child support.
The court expanded the father's parenting time but declined to order an equal shared arrangement on a temporary basis.
The father was ordered to pay temporary child support of $769 per month based on his income, and granted exclusive possession of the matrimonial home.
The request for temporary spousal support was deferred to trial.
Child support Case allowed
The Applicant sought joint custody and increased parenting time, while the Respondent sought sole custody and primary residence.
The court ordered joint custody, with specific decision-making authority split between the parents for different areas (medical/dental for the mother, education/religion for the father).
The parenting schedule was adjusted to provide the father with additional overnight time, but not the requested week-about schedule.
Child support was set at $125 per month payable by the father to the mother, with section 7 expenses shared equally, based on shared custody guidelines and the parties' current incomes.
