The applicant sought an incremental increase in the respondent's parenting time with their child, while the respondent sought an immediate, dramatic increase.
The court, applying the "best interests of the child" principle under the Divorce Act, found that maximum contact with both parents was in the child's best interests, despite past allegations of abuse against the respondent.
The court ordered an immediate increase in the respondent's parenting time, including alternating weekend overnights, and directed the parties to submit costs submissions.
