The court returned four children to their mother under a supervision order with strict conditions.
A temporary care and custody motion under the Child, Youth and Family Services Act concerning four children with developmental, emotional, medical and educational needs.
The Children's Aid Society sought to maintain custody of the children after they were brought into care on December 18, 2019, due to protection concerns arising from the father's mental health crisis, controlling behaviour, and refusal to cooperate with services.
The mother, who had been subject to the father's domination, sought the return of the children.
The court found that while protection concerns existed, a supervision order placing the children with the mother was appropriate, provided she lived separately from the father and his contact with the children was supervised by the CAS.
Sharia marriage contract enforced as a valid domestic contract; respondent ordered to grant religious divorce.
The applicant moved for retroactive and ongoing child support, section 7 expenses, a finding that the parties' Sharia Marriage Contract is enforceable, and an order compelling the respondent to grant a religious divorce.
The court ordered the respondent to pay child support arrears and ongoing support based on his 2018 income, as well as his proportionate share of section 7 expenses.
The court found the Sharia Marriage Contract to be a valid domestic contract under the Family Law Act, making the dowry an enforceable debt for equalization purposes.
Finally, the court ordered the respondent to provide the necessary consent and recitation for a Sharia divorce once initiated.
