This case involved multiple motions concerning parenting arrangements and decision-making for four children following the death of their mother/sister.
The applicant, the maternal grandmother, sought sole decision-making for one child and increased parenting time/reunification therapy for two others.
The respondents, including the great-grandmother and an extended family member, sought various parenting and decision-making orders.
The court ordered shared decision-making and a week-on-week-off parenting schedule for the youngest child between the grandmother and great-grandmother.
Sole decision-making and primary residence were granted to the extended family member for the two older children, respecting their views.
The court dismissed the request for reunification therapy, finding it not beneficial given the children's wishes and family dysfunction.
The Children's Aid Society's handling of the case was also criticized for failing to adequately address the children's emotional needs and views.
