This matter concerned the parenting arrangements for a child born in 2009, with the court being Judge Altobelli. The dispute revolved around the specific orders to be made regarding the child's living arrangements, time spent with each parent, and communication protocols between the parents.

The court was required to determine the extent of shared parental responsibility, where the child would primarily live, the specific schedule for the child's time with each parent including during school holidays and special occasions, and the nature of ongoing communication and information sharing between the parents regarding the child's welfare. Further issues included provisions for parental attendance at child-related events and the prohibition of derogatory remarks about a parent or their family in the child's presence.

Judge Altobelli made orders establishing equal shared parental responsibility for the child. The child was ordered to live with the Mother, with specific, alternating time arrangements for the Father during school weeks and school holidays. Provisions were also made for the child's time with each parent on special occasions, including Christmas, Father's Day, Mother's Day, and the child's birthday, with detailed stipulations for communication regarding the child's health, education, and significant events. The court also ordered both parents to refrain from making derogatory remarks about the other parent or their families in the child's presence and to attend a 'Parenting After Separation' course.
