The parties separated in 2012 and maintained a cooperative parenting arrangement for their two children until early 2015.
Conflict escalated, culminating in the respondent withholding the children from the applicant's scheduled parenting time and threatening to call the police.
The applicant brought an urgent motion for interim custody and access, and the respondent brought a counter-motion seeking primary residence.
The court rejected the respondent's unsubstantiated allegations of abuse and alienation, finding her actions were designed to gain an advantage in the proceeding.
The court granted joint interim custody and ordered a 50/50 week-about parenting schedule, finding it to be in the best interests of the children.
