Lambert v. Greene

Summary

The Court affirmed the Family Court’s order awarding the mother sole custody and limiting the father to supervised visitation every six weeks. It held that the Family Court did not abuse its discretion because it considered the child’s best interests, including the father’s documented violence, mental illness, alcohol-related criminal conduct, medication noncompliance, and the child’s young age. The visitation order also allowed the father to seek expanded visitation after establishing a pattern of good behavior.
