A parenting dispute concerning custody, access, child support, and a restraining order under the Children’s Law Reform Act.
The court assessed the best interests of the child, including stability, the child’s relationship with each parent, and the caregiving environment provided by the maternal grandparents.
Sole custody was granted to the mother to preserve stability in decision‑making, while the father received structured parenting time to maintain a meaningful relationship with the child and his half‑siblings.
The court declined to impute the higher income sought by the mother, instead imputing minimum‑wage income for child support purposes.
A restraining order limiting contact between the parents was granted, largely to reduce conflict and support the parenting arrangement.
