Given the abundant record of the husband's severe physical and verbal abuse and threats to the wife, their child and others, as well as the husband's established history of alcohol abuse and issues with explosive anger, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by granting the wife sole parental responsibility and limiting the husband's parental timesharing to supervised visits once per week. The trial court did abuse its discretion, however, by ordering the husband not to consume alcohol and attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings once per week, as that part of the judgment is "completely untethered" to the best interests of the child in part because the husband has been denied unsupervised visits and has no pathway to them.
