The marriage is hereby dissolved. <br />7) Neither the Plaintiff nor Defendant is a party to any other pending action for <br />divorce, separation, or dissolution of marriage. <br />8) To the best of the Court's knowledge, none of the minor children are a party <br />to, or affected by, any actions for custody, paternity, or support, and are not <br />impacted by any Juvenile Court or protection order which impacts their <br />custody. <br />9) Neither party is a member of the Armed Forces or its Allies. <br />Custody & Parenting Plan <br />10)The Plaintiff, Defendant, and all three children provided testimony regarding <br />custody and visitation. <br />11)In the temporary order issued on June 6, 2023, the Court granted the <br />Plaintiff temporary sole physical and legal custody and provided <br />unsupervised parenting time to the Defendant every other Saturday from <br />noon to 6:00 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6:00 p.m. in addition to every <br />Wednesday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The Court also ordered the parties to <br />follow a Wilson schedule for holidays. <br />12)Since the temporary order, the Defendant has only had five (5) visits. A <br />concerning pattern was presented through the testimony of the Defendant's <br />frequently changing phone numbers and difficulty in attempting to contact <br />him. Despite all the children having the technological means of <br />communicating with the Defendant, the Defendant appears to communicate <br />primarily, if not exclusively, through Ava to the exclusion of Zayden and <br />Kamdon. <br />13)The Defendant has not made his children a priority since the temporary <br />order. He has made little to no effort to take advantage of the parenting time <br />available to him. His lack of presence in the children's lives combined with <br />his disengagement from the familial unit prior to his moving out has <br />significantly, and negatively, impacted the general health, welfare, and social <br />behavior of the children. <br />14)During the pendency of this matter, the Plaintiff has established by a <br />preponderance of the evidence that the Defendant has committed domestic <br />intimate partner abuse as evidenced by Exhibit 17 for which he faces an <br />upcoming criminal sentencing. <br />2 <br />Certified Page 2 of 18 <br />
