Mother primary custody during the week and Father custody of the children on
every weekend. The parties have been separated since October. Father is suggesting
Madyson wants to come to live with him. Mother acknowledges that Madyson is
making those suggestions on occasion, but also indicates that Madyson is sometimes

live with Dad so that she can be close to some of the friends in the neighborhood.
Father resides in the martial home.

An agreement could not be reached, and the Conciliator recommends that the
existing Order remain in place pending a hearing subject to some modifications as
noted in the attached Order.
