B. It is in Chase's best interests for Father to participate in his therapy and
take him to therapy during his periods of partial custody.
C. The children should be permitted to participate in their sports- related
activities during Father's periods of partial custody.
D. The children should be bathed and ready for bed on school nights or, in
the alternative, returned earlier so that the children can get to bed at a reasonable time
so that they are not tired in the morning when it is time to get up and go to school.

3. The previous Judge assigned to the matter was the Honorable Edgar B. Bayley.
