2022But we disagree with Trish’s contention that “proximity of care should be the focal concern, which is keeping J.B. in her current care plan.” See Hansen, 733 N.W.2d at 697 (declining to give controlling weight to approximation factor because “our case law requires a multi-factored test where no one criterion is determinative”).

2021While Hancy’s historical status as the primary caregiver weighs in her favor on the issue of approximation, and we agree with the district court this “factor does not favor shared care,” “our case law requires a multi-factored test where no one criterion is determinative.” See id. at 697 . 10 We turn to the remaining factors, the parties’ ability to communicate and show mutual respect, the degree of conflict between them, and the extent they are in general agreement about their approach to daily matters.
