The applicant mother sought to change final custody and access orders, requesting sole custody of two children and alternating weekend access for the respondent father, along with child support retroactive to January 2012 based on imputed income of $30,000 annually.
The respondent father sought sole custody with an equal rotating residential schedule or, alternatively, continuation of joint custody.
The court found a material change in circumstances since the 2009 and 2010 final orders, including escalating conflict between the parties, temporary sole custody granted to the mother in 2011, and criminal charges against the paternal grandfather for assault.
The court granted final sole custody to the mother, modified the access schedule to reduce parental conflict, and ordered child support based on imputed income of $25,000 annually, retroactive to January 2013.
