The mother appealed from an amended order of the Family court, which, after a hearing, awarded the parties joint legal custody of the subject child, and the father cross-appealed, from the same amended order, which awarded the mother sole physical custody of the subject child. Upon reviewing the record, the Appellate Division found that the Family Court properly considered the totality of the circumstances in determining that the best interests of the subject child would be served by awarding sole physical custody to the mother. As to the award of joint legal custody, the record was replete with examples of hostility and antagonism between the parties, indicating that they were unable to put aside their differences for the good of the child. Accordingly, the Family court erred in awarding the parties joint legal custody of the subject child. Rather, an award of sole legal custody to the mother was in the child’s best interests.
