Heading: The Custody Order

Text: Bill and Carey were awarded joint legal custody. Bill was also required to pay child support of $2,500 monthly, all private school expenses, and the children's health insurance. Bill does not appeal these rulings and challenges only the physical custody order. The superior court had issued an interim order whereby Carey was awarded primary physical custody on weekdays during the school year, with Bill having weekend, holiday, and extended summer visitation rights. At the trial, Carey sought to have this interim order made permanent while Bill sought joint physical custody in the form of a two-week-on, two-week-off schedule. The superior court awarded Carey primary physical custody and provided Bill visitation with the children three weekends per month (from Friday after school to Sunday evening or to school on Monday morning as the parties may agree), alternate Thanksgivings, shared Christmas vacations, and Father's Day. In addition, he was allowed a three-week block of time during the summer. Additional visitation could be arranged as agreed upon jointly by Bill and Carey. Bill appeals the award of primary physical custody to Carey.
