This is a court hearing regarding a child custody and support case. Here's a breakdown of the key points:
Case Summary:
Parties: Jessica Ibara (mother) and Aaron Maese (father).
Child: Delilah Barra, 2 years old.
Background: The parents were not in a relationship, and Mr. Maese initially expressed a lack of interest in being involved in the child's life. A DNA test confirmed his paternity.
Issues: Custody, visitation, child support, and medical expenses.
Key Decisions:
Conservatorship: The court appointed Ms. Ibara as the sole managing conservator, meaning she has primary decision-making authority regarding the child's life (education, medical care, etc.). Mr. Maese was appointed the possessory conservator, meaning he has visitation rights.
Visitation: Due to Delilah's young age and the pandemic, the court ordered a limited supervised visitation schedule of every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. This visitation must be supervised by Ms. Ibara or someone she designates. When Delilah turns 3, the standard possession order will be implemented.
No Geographical Restrictions: The parties agreed that there are no restrictions on where Ms. Ibara and Delilah can live.
Disputed Points: Ms. Ibara's request for sole managing conservatorship and her insistence on supervised visitation until Delilah is older were opposed by Mr. Maese, who wanted a more active role in his daughter's life. Mr. Maese's limited income and lack of consistent employment contributed to the disagreements regarding child support and the retroactive payments.
Overall: The judge made decisions based on the testimony presented, the best interests of the child, and the current pandemic situation. The court emphasized the need for supervised visitation to ease Delilah into a relationship with her father and the importance of using the state disbursement unit for child support payments.
