The respondent father brought a motion seeking a 2/2/5/5 shared parenting schedule for the parties' two children.
The applicant mother opposed and brought a cross-motion for a section 30 assessment under the Children's Law Reform Act.
The court found that the eldest child was exhibiting emotional and behavioural issues following the separation, and there were documented concerns from the Children's Aid Society regarding the father's behaviour.
Applying the Glick factors, the court concluded a section 30 assessment was in the children's best interests and ordered the father to pay the upfront costs.
The father's motion for a shared parenting schedule was dismissed, with leave to renew after the assessment, though the interim schedule was slightly modified to reduce transitions.
