The applicant sought temporary custody of two children pending trial in a high‑conflict parenting dispute.
Evidence included a detailed Office of the Children’s Lawyer report recommending parallel parenting and a Children’s Aid Society affidavit recommending sole custody to the respondent with supervised access.
The court found both parents demonstrated poor cooperation and had exposed the children to conflict but determined the OCL investigation was more objective and persuasive.
The court rejected reliance on uncorroborated statements from a child experiencing emotional difficulties and declined to impose supervised parenting time.
A temporary parallel parenting regime with divided residential time and shared decision‑making responsibilities was ordered pending trial.
