This uncontested trial addressed parenting and child support arrangements for two children.
The court struck the respondent father's pleadings due to persistent non-compliance with court orders and failure to provide disclosure.
The applicant mother sought final parenting orders, including sole custody and permission to obtain government documentation and travel with the children without the father's consent.
She also sought retroactive child support from June 1, 2015, and imputation of income to the father due to his intentional under-employment and blameworthy conduct.
The court granted the mother sole custody, the requested travel and documentation permissions, ordered retroactive child support of $40,413, and ongoing child support based on an imputed income of $45,000.
The court also ordered the father to pay additional costs of $4,200 and required him to seek leave of the court for any future proceedings due to his flagrant disregard of court orders.
