The applicant mother sought sole custody, child support, and equalization in an uncontested trial after the respondent father's answer was struck.
The court granted the mother sole custody and ordered that the father's access be supervised by the paternal grandparents due to his ongoing substance abuse issues.
The court imputed the father's income at $49,920 and ordered ongoing and retroactive child support.
The mother owed an equalization payment to the father, but the court allowed her to set off the father's child support arrears and outstanding costs awards against the equalization payment, resulting in the father owing the mother the remaining balance of child support arrears.
