The case involves two motions regarding parenting time for the parties' child.
The respondent sought specified unsupervised parenting time, while the applicant proposed a lengthy transitional schedule due to concerns about the respondent's parenting experience and alleged substance abuse/criminal history.
The court reviewed conflicting affidavits and independent third-party evidence, finding that neither party fully substantiated their serious allegations against the other.
Applying the "best interests of the child" and "maximum contact" principles, the court dismissed the applicant's proposed lengthy transition, ordering an immediate and short transition to regular alternate weekend and weekly parenting time for the respondent, along with child support and benefits.
