At a case conference, the applicant father sought a substantive order for extended overnight summer parenting time with his two daughters at a resort.
The respondent mother opposed the request, proposing a more limited schedule.
The court found that limited and exceptional circumstances existed to make a substantive order at a case conference.
Considering the strained relationship between the father and the children, and the recommendations of the experts, the court ordered daily parenting time from 12:00 noon to 8:00 p.m. between August 13 and August 27, without overnights.
The court also ordered the parties to proceed with family counselling.
