This trial decision addresses custody, access, and child support for the parties' 11-year-old child.
The Applicant sought sole custody, while the Respondent requested joint custody.
The court granted sole custody to the Applicant, noting a prior informal agreement and the Applicant's consistent primary caregiving.
The court ordered the Applicant to notify the Respondent of specialist appointments.
Access was ordered to be flexible with advance notice, considering the child's views.
For child support, the court imputed the Respondent's income for 2019 and 2020, finding certain business expenses unreasonable for support purposes and declining to impute income from a band.
Retroactive child support was ordered from July 2019.
The Respondent was ordered to contribute 60% to extraordinary expenses.
