An uncontested trial was held where the applicant sought orders for joint custody with final decision-making authority, primary residence, child support, and section 7 expenses.

The respondent was in default.

The court granted the parenting orders as sought, determined the respondent's income for child support purposes, and ordered equal sharing of section 7 expenses, including child care, with provisions for tax deductions.

The court also ordered the respondent to maintain life insurance to secure child support.

The applicant withdrew her claim for equalization.

A final divorce order was to be issued incorporating the corollary relief.

No costs were awarded.

The Applicant, Mr. A., brought an urgent motion seeking interim access to the parties' three children.

The Respondent, Ms. L., opposed the equal time-sharing request, advocating for alternate weekend access.

The Children's Aid Society (CAS) and police were investigating allegations of abuse against Mr. A. The court, prioritizing the children's best interests, found Ms. L. to be the primary caregiver prior to separation and her evidence regarding abuse allegations more credible.

The motion for equal time-sharing was dismissed, and Mr. A. was granted supervised access on alternate weekends pending completion of investigations.

The applicant brought a motion seeking an order for the respondent to pay all costs of transporting the children to and from school, and to pay costs of a prior motion heard on July 10, 2018.

The court denied both requests on an interim basis.

It found that the separation agreement did not expressly obligate the respondent to bear all transportation costs due to her relocation, and that the applicant's pleadings did not encompass the requested relief for transportation costs.

The court ordered that, on an interim basis, each party would be responsible for their own transportation costs and their own costs for both the July 10, 2018 motion and the current August 28, 2018 motion, citing a lack of constructive communication between the parties.
