The applicant father and respondent mother engaged in a high-conflict family law trial regarding parenting, child support, and property division.
The court found that the mother's unrelenting insistence on her methods and values, and her pursuit of confrontation, caused the children to be in need of protection.
Despite the father's request for shared custody based on parental alienation, the court ordered joint custody with primary residence to the mother, but carved out final decision-making for extracurricular sports to the father to prevent his exclusion.
The court imposed a strict parenting schedule, mandated reconciliation counselling and a parenting coach, and ordered child support and equalization payments.
