Weisberger v. Weisberger

After Naftali and Chava Weisberger (plaintiff and defendant) divorced with an agreement for joint custody, Chava as primary physical custodian, and a commitment to raise the children Hasidic with Naftali choosing their school, Naftali (who never paid agreed child support and underused his visitation) later sought modification alleging Chava violated the religious-upbringing terms through the children's dress, diet, haircuts, and language; the trial court awarded Naftali sole custody largely to enforce the religious clause despite evidence Chava had the closest relationship with the children, and Chava appealed.
