The respondent mother brought a motion seeking temporary custody, permission to travel with children, temporary child and spousal support, orders regarding the matrimonial home (joint ownership, sale, exclusive possession), and interim disbursements.
The court granted temporary sole custody to the mother, with consultation on major decisions.
It allowed the mother to retain passports and travel with notice, finding the father's flight risk concerns speculative.
The court imputed an income of $225,000 per annum to the father for child support purposes, ordering $2,867 per month, commencing July 1, 2016, but declined retroactivity.
It ordered proportionate sharing of Toronto Montessori expenses for both children but denied other s.7 expenses (summer camp, drawing, piano lessons).
The parties were declared joint owners of the matrimonial home, but the conditional request for sale was withdrawn.
The mother was granted interim exclusive possession.
Spousal support was not ordered at this time, as the father's existing payments for the matrimonial home satisfied the mother's current need.
The father was ordered to pay $25,000 in interim disbursements and to retain a business valuator for his business interests and income, with a further $25,000 payment if he failed to comply.
