Endorsement
1Custody of children upon the dissolution of a marriage depends exclusively on a determination of the “best interests of the child”. We see no reason to interfere with the motion judge’s decision.
2The appellant sought sole custody of the two children, but also agreed that the children should continue to reside with the respondent. They had lived with their mother since separation in 2008. The motion judge quite properly observed that these two positions were irreconcilable.
3In the end, the motion judge had a difficult decision to make. We would not interfere with the discretion as exercised by the motion judge.
4The appeal dismissed.
“Doherty J.A.” “J.C. MacPherson J.A.” “David Watt J.A.”
