This Ontario Court of Justice decision addresses complex parenting, child support, and spousal support issues involving parties N.G. (Applicant) and A.M.A. (Respondent).
The court granted sole decision-making responsibility to the Applicant, denied parenting time to the Respondent due to his lack of engagement and history of family violence, and imputed income to the Respondent for child support purposes based on his educational background and employment capacity.
Retroactive child and spousal support were ordered, with payment plans established.
The court emphasized the paramountcy of the children's best interests, particularly in the context of family violence and the Respondent's controlling behavior.
The decision also highlights the court's approach to self-represented litigants and the application of the Children’s Law Reform Act and Family Law Act.
