Questão jurídica principal
Whether alternating custody should be ordered for the child.
Decisão extraída
Alternating custody was not warranted because the parents remained in a severe and persistent conflict, lacked the minimum cooperation required, and the arrangement would likely burden the child further.
Fundamentação extraída
The child was caught in a pronounced loyalty conflict. The court held that alternating custody requires at least a minimum level of cooperation and communication in child-related matters. The conflict between the parents remained intense, involved child-rearing issues, and threatened the child's well-being.
