Temporary parenting order grants mother primary care and final decision-making authority amidst high conflict.
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.
Arbitrator awards retroactive attendant care benefits but dismisses claim for ongoing income replacement benefits.
The applicant, a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle, sought statutory accident benefits including housekeeping, attendant care, and income replacement benefits.
The arbitrator dismissed the claim for housekeeping benefits as the insurer had already paid the amount claimed.
The arbitrator awarded attendant care benefits for the period before the applicant submitted the required Form 1, finding it was submitted within a reasonable time.
The claim for ongoing income replacement benefits was dismissed because the medical evidence, including reports from the applicant's own assessors, and the applicant's unreliable testimony failed to establish a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of her pre-accident employment.
