The parties separated when the mother moved from Ontario to Ohio with their four-year-old child.
Following separation, the parties established a status quo where the child rotated between their residences every six weeks.
Both parties brought motions for interim sole custody.
The court declined to make an interim custody order, finding that the evidentiary record was insufficient to determine the child's best interests and that maintaining the six-week rotation status quo until trial was appropriate.
The court granted the father's request for the involvement of the Office of the Children's Lawyer but denied his request for an order requiring the mother to sign a Canadian passport application.
