This motion concerned the appropriate school enrollment for the parties' four-year-old daughter, Nyla, for Junior Kindergarten.

The applicant father proposed Rose Avenue Junior Public School in downtown Toronto, near the matrimonial home.

The respondent mother proposed Crestview Public School in North York, near her residence where the child spends the majority of her time.

The court, applying the best interests of the child principle and considering factors such as primary caregiver, stability, support networks, and commute times for the child, found in favour of the respondent mother's proposed school.

This endorsement addresses two motions in a family law matter.

The respondent father sought increased parenting time, equal sharing of reunification therapy costs, and an order preventing the applicant mother from recording children's telephone calls.

The applicant mother sought supervised and public parenting time, and a higher contribution from the father for therapy costs.

The court granted the father's requests regarding the recording of calls and the equal division of reunification therapy costs.

The mother's request for supervised and public parenting time was dismissed.

The court ordered a more gradual increase in the father's parenting time than he proposed, aiming for a shared parenting regime, and denied the father's request for make-up parenting time.
