The applicant father brought a motion for equal shared parenting or expanded unsupervised parenting time.
The respondent mother had unilaterally restricted his parenting time following incidents involving the father's intoxication, excessive noise, and police involvement.
The court found that while the father's substance use was a concern, the mother's unilateral self-help remedies were also inappropriate.
The court ordered an expanded parenting schedule for the father, denied the mother's request for a breathalyzer requirement, but imposed strict conditions prohibiting the father from consuming alcohol or drugs before or during his parenting time, subject to a review in six months.
