The respondent sought an interim order for the return of her six-year-old child, Patrick, to her care or, alternatively, shared parenting time.
The applicant resisted the relief, failing to file material or cooperate with the Office of the Children’s Lawyer (OCL) as previously ordered.
The court found the applicant's explanation for non-compliance unpersuasive and noted the child's need for stability.
On an interim basis, the court ordered week-about shared parenting until a scheduled settlement conference and re-issued an order for OCL involvement, expecting the applicant to complete the necessary paperwork promptly.
