The applicants, the maternal grandmother and her partner, sought primary care of the child, Addison, and defined parenting time for the child's parents.
The mother sought the child's return to her care, and the father sought primary care for himself.
The court found it was in the child's best interests to remain in the primary care of the applicants, citing concerns about the mother's alcohol abuse and the instability of her living situation, and the potential disruption to the child's established community ties if placed with the father.
Joint decision-making responsibility was ordered, with final authority for the maternal grandmother.
Specific parenting time schedules were set for both parents, and the father was ordered to pay child support.
