Following the breakdown of a marriage involving two children with significant developmental needs, the applicant sought sole custody, retroactive child support, spousal support, equalization of net family property, and related relief.
The respondent sought sole or joint custody, claimed arrears of child support, and disputed income and property issues.
The court applied the best‑interests analysis under the Divorce Act and ordered joint custody with substantial parenting time to each parent.
Income was imputed to the respondent at $60,000 due to unreliable financial disclosure and unreasonable business deductions, resulting in ongoing child support and spousal support obligations.
The court also determined the parties’ net family property and ordered an equalization payment after finding that transfers to the respondent’s mother were not legitimate loans but attempts to defeat equalization.
