The applicant father brought a motion for summary judgment seeking sole custody of the parties' 13-year-old child, child support, and an order striking the respondent mother's pleadings.
The mother brought a cross-motion seeking joint custody and increased parenting time.
The court dismissed the father's motion for contempt and to strike pleadings, finding no pattern of deception and noting the mother's offer to secure support arrears against her property.
The court also dismissed the father's motion for summary judgment, concluding that genuine issues for trial existed regarding the child's views and preferences and the appropriate parenting schedule.
The mother's cross-motion was granted in part, establishing a specified parenting schedule and securing her arrears against her property.
