The respondent father brought a motion seeking joint custody and increased parenting time, including overnight visits, with the parties' infant child.
The applicant mother opposed the motion, arguing that the father was incapable of caring for the child and that overnight visits would disrupt the child's breastfeeding schedule.
The court found that the mother's resistance was punitive and that the child's best interests required fostering a relationship with the father.
The court ordered an interim schedule granting the father one day visit and one overnight visit per week, but declined to order joint custody at this stage.
