In an uncontested family law trial, the applicant mother sought sole decision-making responsibility, primary residence, child support, and section 7 expenses.
The respondent father failed to file an answer or financial statement and did not appear.
The court granted the mother sole decision-making responsibility and primary residence, finding it in the children's best interests given the father's inconsistent involvement.
The court imputed an annual income of $35,000 to the father due to his failure to disclose financial information and intentional under-employment, ordering him to pay $532 per month in child support and $423 per month for section 7 expenses.
The mother was awarded substantial indemnity costs of $8,913.44.
