The appellant appealed a motion judge's order regarding child support arrears, imputed income, and costs.

He argued that the judge should have forgiven arrears for the entire time he was in Iran, rather than half, and that too much income was imputed to him upon his return.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no reviewable error in the motion judge's discretionary decisions regarding arrears, imputed income, or the modest costs award.

The appellant father appealed a Superior Court order dismissing his application to change the primary residence of the child.

The application judge found no material change in circumstances, noting that the existing joint custody and primary residence arrangement agreed to by the parties had benefited the child.

The Court of Appeal found no basis to interfere with the application judge's decision, observing that the child was doing well and the parents had successfully adjusted the parenting schedule to accommodate the child's school routine.

The appeal was dismissed with costs awarded to the respondent.
