The parties, a former same-sex couple, engaged in a high-conflict parenting trial regarding their child conceived via a sperm donor.
The applicant sought a declaration of sole parentage and primary residence, while the respondent sought a declaration of parentage and primary residence.
The court dismissed the applicant's request for sole parentage, finding pre-conception intent to co-parent and noting the application was brought after the child's first birthday.
Finding the applicant had engaged in a pattern of alienating conduct, the court awarded primary residence to the respondent, shared decision-making with final say to the respondent, and a week-about parenting schedule.
