1. “If this temporary custody arrangement is disagreeable to the parties, or parental alienation continues to occur, the Court will be forced to enter a final order determining the long-term custody of the children. Both parties have presented valid arguments for why they should be or continue to be the primary custodian of the children. This temporary order is the Court's last effort to help the parties co-parent their children, and is believed to be in the best interests of the children. If this temporary solution fails to meet the needs of the parties, the Court will be forced to enter a final ruling on custody. This would likely result in one of the parties having substantially decreased visitation.”
