The moving party sought an order prohibiting the primary custodial parent from changing the children’s school and requested modification of access arrangements to align with those of the other children.
The responding parent sought an adjournment after receiving service only four business days before the hearing, arguing that additional time was required to prepare responding evidence and that the motion effectively sought to alter existing access provisions.
The court held that the primary custodial parent’s decision regarding schooling is entitled to significant respect and that a proper evidentiary record was required before intervening.
Finding no urgency and no evidence of harm from the proposed school change, the court granted an adjournment to allow the responding parent to file material.
