The respondent father brought a motion for temporary primary care or equal parenting time and sole decision-making responsibility for the parties' 4-year-old child.
The applicant mother opposed, seeking primary care and sole decision-making responsibility, citing a history of family violence and poor communication.
The court found that the parties' high conflict and poor communication made joint decision-making inappropriate, granting the mother final decision-making authority after consultation.
The court ordered a temporary parenting schedule where the child resides primarily with the mother, with the father having parenting time three nights every two weeks, to provide stability for the young child.
