The applicant father brought a motion for interim primary residence of the parties' two young children, or alternatively shared parenting or specified access.
The respondent mother brought a cross-motion for interim sole custody and supervised access for the father.
Both parties made serious allegations against each other regarding substance abuse, violence, and parenting ability.
The court found that the children should maintain their primary residence with the mother, who had been their primary caregiver, while granting the father regular, unsupervised access.
The court declined to order interim sole custody or supervised access, finding that the parties' recent escalation of conflict likely exaggerated their respective concerns.
