The applicant father brought a motion to change the parenting schedule for their 10-year-old child from a week-about arrangement to primary residence with the father.
The child had consistently expressed a desire to live with the father, amidst ongoing high conflict between the parents and concerns regarding the mother's physical discipline.
The court considered the views and preferences of the child, the evidence from the Office of the Children's Lawyer, and the history of conflict.
The court granted the motion, ordering primary residence with the father and alternate weekend parenting time for the mother, along with mandatory counselling for the child and parents.
