a proper child protective seat while transporting her. On a recent occasion, he had her
sitting on the buckle part of the child protective seat.

enhanced by granting primary physical custody of the child to Plaintiff, with Father's
visitations limited to conditions of strict supervision.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests that the Court grant to her primary physical and shared
legal custody of the child, Riley Griggs, and limit Father's periods of visitation to
conditions where he can be adequately supervised.
