The applicant father sought a week-on/week-off parenting schedule and permission to travel to Mexico for a week with the parties' 20-month-old child.
The father's freelance work schedule allowed him to care for the child on alternate weeks.
The mother opposed the schedule, arguing the child was too young to be separated from her for a full week.
The court applied the AFCC Parenting Guidelines, finding that a toddler should not be separated from either parent for more than two to three days.
The court dismissed the father's requests, establishing a schedule that prevented extended separations while maximizing the father's parenting time during his available week.
