The parties, who separated in 2006 after a high-conflict marriage, both sought sole custody of their two children.
The father had primary care of the children during the week, while the mother had access on weekends.
The court found that both parents were loving and competent, but their inability to communicate and the father's controlling behaviour made joint custody unworkable.
To ensure both parents remained actively involved in the children's lives, the court ordered a shared (parallel) custody arrangement.
The children would reside with the father from Tuesday to Saturday and with the mother from Saturday to Tuesday.
Decision-making was divided: the father would decide on education, the mother on health and religion, and extra-curriculars would be decided jointly.
The mother was ordered to pay the set-off amount of child support under section 9 of the Guidelines.
