Interim motion for supervised parenting time dismissed; equal parenting schedule reinstated with safety conditions.
The applicant mother brought an interim motion seeking primary residence, sole decision-making, and supervised parenting time for the respondent father, alleging substance abuse and relying on a CAS letter.
The father sought to maintain the status quo of a 2-2-3 equal parenting schedule, explaining that a medical incident was due to prescribed medication and that he had acted protectively by calling the paternal grandmother.
The court dismissed the mother's motion, finding insufficient evidence to justify the draconian measure of supervised parenting time or a departure from the status quo.
The equal parenting schedule was reinstated with specific safety conditions.
