The applicant father brought a motion seeking a temporary order for joint custody and a shared parenting arrangement for three of the children.
The respondent mother brought a cross-motion seeking to maintain the existing parental arrangement.
The court dismissed the applicant's motion and granted the respondent's cross-motion, finding no compelling reasons to disturb the status quo, which had been in place since separation and was supported by previous consent orders.
The court emphasized the importance of stability for children and the inability to make credibility findings on conflicting affidavit evidence at an interim motion.
