Court establishes paternity and names both parents joint primary residential parents for infant child
Judge David D. Wolfe approved an on-the-record agreement establishing that Jordan Gellerman is the biological father of Edward Philip Gellerman (born Aug. 21, 2021) and the legal parent-child relationship will be established.

Under the oral stipulation, the parties currently live together in the father's home and the court designated both parties as joint primary residential parents with equal rights and equal decision-making authority. The court made clear the arrangement is effective immediately but cautioned that if the mother moves from the residence the case will be reset to establish a residential schedule.

Judge Wolfe addressed the mother directly to explain the implications: both parents “will have equal rights to this child” and neither parent may exclude the other. The judge emphasized the need for co-parent communication and warned that if cohabitation ends, the court will revisit the parenting schedule to determine primary residential parent or comparable arrangements.

Ending: The court directed counsel to prepare a written order memorializing the joint primary residential parent designation and to submit it to the clerk; the order is effective on the record and will be enforceable as a court order.
