The applicant father sought expanded parenting time and decision-making responsibility for his two children, and reconciliation counselling for the older child.
The court considered the best interests of the children, including the impact of historical family violence and the mother's potential alienation.
The court ordered increased unsupervised parenting time for the younger child, and immediate commencement of therapeutic reconciliation counselling for the older child.
The court declined to order joint decision-making at this stage and denied the applicant's request for security for costs, while emphasizing that prior cost orders must be paid.
