The parties engaged in high-conflict family litigation over custody and access of their two young children.
The applicant mother sought sole custody and restricted access without overnights, while the respondent father sought joint custody and regular overnight access.
The court awarded sole custody to the mother due to the parties' inability to communicate cooperatively, but granted the father's request for overnight access, implementing a gradual transition plan.
The court also excluded surreptitious recordings made by the mother, declined to include the father's RRSP withdrawals in his income for child support, and dismissed the mother's motion to adduce fresh post-trial evidence.
