The parties sought determination of decision-making responsibility, primary residence, and child support for their young child.
The child had been primarily residing with the respondent father and paternal grandmother since the parties separated.
The court found that the applicant mother had historically been the primary caregiver and that the respondent's plan relied heavily on the paternal grandmother and posed a risk of relocation for his medical residency.
The court granted the applicant sole decision-making responsibility and primary residence effective the next school year, with significant parenting time for the respondent.
The applicant was ordered to pay retroactive child support, which would be set off against the respondent's ongoing child support obligations.
