|||||
Overview: Court had not erred in preferring week-to-week rotation of care for child custody: it was simple and predictable, it avoided mid-week relocations of children, and was consistent with psychologist's recommendation that children's schedule be consistent and predictable, nor was it in their best interests to transfer them to another school district.

|||||
Overview: The grant of physical care of the parties' children to the father in lieu of the mother was proper because the appellate court was left with the finding that the mother raised domestic abuse evidence to gain an advantage in the custody dispute. The evidence also spoke poorly of her ability to advance the children's relationship with the father.
