The parties engaged in a high-conflict 10-day trial over the custody and access of their nine-year-old daughter.
The mother sought sole custody, alleging the father had a history of domestic violence and alcohol abuse.
The father sought joint custody and equal time-sharing, alleging the mother was alienating him from the child and had mental health issues.
The court heavily criticized both parents for their relentless conflict and inappropriate behaviour during access exchanges.
The court rejected a flawed initial OCL report recommending joint custody and accepted a second OCL report recommending sole custody to the mother.
The mother was awarded sole custody, and the father's access was restricted to daytime visits until he completes court-ordered anger management and alcohol treatment programs.
