The applicant sought sole custody, child support, and other relief in an uncontested family law trial.
The respondent, who struggled with substance abuse and had a criminal record, did not meaningfully participate.
The court granted the applicant sole custody and primary residence of the two children.
Income was imputed to the respondent at $60,000 for child support purposes, and he was ordered to repay a $30,000 down payment.
The court declined to terminate the respondent's access entirely, instead ordering supervised access.
