Matrimonial Causes – Child custody – Care and control – Shared care – Term time arrangements – Best interests of the child – Alternating weekends vs split weekends – School bus logistics – Social welfare report – District Court – The court determined the appropriate care arrangement for the 9-year-old daughter AG during term time. The mother proposed a 2:2:5:5 shared care regime with alternating weekends, while the father proposed a 3:4 split with shared weekends. The court held that alternating weekends was more beneficial for the child given her age and bonding with both parents. The school bus company refused alternating schedules, so parties were directed to arrange transport. No order as to costs was made.
Legal issues: Care and control arrangements during term time
Outcome: Care of AG shared on 2:2:5:5 basis during term time with alternating weekends.
