Thurston and Varney

In *Thurston and Varney*, heard by Judge McGuire, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for a child born in 2005. The orders indicate a disagreement between the parents regarding the child's living arrangements and time spent with each parent.

The court was required to determine the nature of parental responsibility, the primary residence of the child, and the specific arrangements for the child to spend time with the father. This included defining the frequency and duration of contact, as well as provisions for holidays and special occasions.

The court ordered that the mother and father have equal shared parental responsibility for the child. The child was to live with the mother, and both parents were restrained from changing the child's primary place of residence from the specified municipality without the other's written consent or a court order. The father was granted specific time with the child, including alternate weekends, half of all school holidays, and time on birthdays and Father's Day, with detailed provisions for Christmas arrangements and a suspension of time if Mother's Day fell during the father's scheduled weekend.
