The parties separated after a 16-year marriage characterized by family violence and conflict.
The respondent mother sought to relocate with the parties' 5-year-old child to New Brunswick, while the applicant father sought equal parenting time and joint decision-making in Toronto.
The court denied the relocation, finding it was not in the child's best interests as it would sever his relationship with the father and paternal grandmother.
The court ordered a 2/2/3 equal parenting time schedule and divided decision-making responsibility.
The court also resolved financial issues, imputing a minimum wage income to the respondent, setting the applicant's income, and ordering an equalization payment.
The respondent's claim for damages for the tort of family violence was deferred pending appellate guidance.
