How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that new trial was unnecessary where record contained sufficient evidence to make findings supporting custody determination and trial court “simply failed to make those findings”
• noting that the findings of fact in a custody matter must “resolve the primary issues raised by the evidence which bear directly upon the child’s welfare”
• reversing custody order and remanding for further findings where findings were too meager to support the award
• remanding for additional findings where trial court’s order failed to “explain why awarding primary custody of [the minor child] to defendant is in [the minor child’s] best interest”
• “[J]oint custody implies a relationship where each parent has a degree of control over, and a measure of responsibility for, the child’s best interest and welfare.”
• “Although a custody order need not, and should not, include findings as to each piece of evidence presented at trial, it must resolve the material, disputed issues raised by the evidence.”
