N/A

OUTCOME: Success.

On appeal, the court heard arguments by the father that the outcome would likely have been different had it been the mother with greater flexibility and who was available to care for the children. In i ... ts decision, the appellate court cited cases that stand for the proposition that "natural law" cannot replace the terms of an agreement, and reversed the decision of the lower court. As a result, the father's right to exercise his right of priority is recognized (even) during the mother's designated parenting time, irrespective of the mother's regular work schedule and appropriateness of the arrangement selected by the mother for their children.
