Joint custody ordered with primary residence to mother; father ordered to pay retroactive child support.
The parties separated in 2008 and settled property issues, leaving custody, access, and child support to be determined.
The mother sought joint custody with final decision-making authority, while the father sought joint custody without such authority and increased access to reach a 40 percent threshold.
The court ordered joint custody with no final decision-making authority to either party, finding they had a history of cooperative decision-making.
The court maintained the children's primary residence with the mother and established a detailed access schedule for the father.
The court also ordered the father to pay ongoing child support of $1,141.25 per month and retroactive child support fixed at $12,000.
