[Consolidated.] J. Reynolds Fitzgerald finds that the lower court properly awarded a mother primary custody as the parent who could better provide structure and discipline for the parties' child. However, the record did not support an order requiring the mother to keep her child in the school district where she began kindergarten under the father's care. Due to the subsequent passage of time, remittal is necessary to evaluate that point.

The referee also did not err in determining that the attorney violated rules of professional conduct by failing to disclose that client's file to the conservator.
