Interim motion granted maintaining children's private school enrolment and expanding father's summer parenting time.
The applicant father brought a mid-trial motion for interim orders regarding the children's school enrolment and summer parenting schedule.
The father sought to keep the children at their current private Montessori school, while the respondent mother wished to transfer them to a local publicly funded Catholic school.
The court applied the factors for school placement and found it was in the children's best interests to maintain the status quo at the Montessori school to minimize disruption, given the high-conflict nature of the separation.
The court also ordered a compromise summer parenting schedule that expanded the father's parenting time, including overnight visits and long weekends, consistent with the maximum contact principle.
