The appellant mother appealed a trial judge's order that increased the respondent father's parenting time to a 50/50 schedule.
The appeal raised issues including whether a material change in circumstances was required to vary a final order containing a review term, the admission of hearsay evidence, the amendment of pleadings at trial, and the consideration of the children's best interests.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, affirming that a review term in a final parenting order can negate the need for a material change in circumstances if properly justified and delimited.
The court also upheld the trial judge's findings on evidence, pleading amendments, and the children's best interests, and denied the appellant's motion to admit fresh evidence.
