The applicant mother brought a motion to change a 2012 deemed custody order, seeking primary residence of her two adolescent children and child support.
The respondent father opposed the motion, seeking to retain custody, reduce the mother's parenting time, and obtain child support.
The court found a material change in circumstances but dismissed the mother's request for primary residence, citing the children's strong views and preferences to remain with their father and the mother's inability to manage the son's behavioural issues.
The court reduced the mother's parenting time in accordance with the children's wishes and ordered her to pay $280 per month in child support based on an income of $18,500.
