High School (Bishop Luers), a private school in Fort Wayne,
Indiana, rather than attend high school in San Diego. The
decision to attend Bishop Luers was based on RW’s desire to
attend the same high school that petitioner, RW’s brother and
sister, and her aunts and uncles attended. In addition, many of
RW’s friends were going to attend Bishop Luers. Thus, RW
returned to Indiana in the fall of 2000.
While in school in Indiana, RW lived with her father for
approximately 1 month during the 2002 school year. RW lived at
other times during the school year with her grandparents,
petitioner’s parents, who also lived in Indiana. During her high
school years RW spent summers and vacations with petitioner in
San Diego. In 2002, RW lived in San Diego with petitioner from
the second week of June to the second or third week of August.
