Following a family law trial concerning a school-aged child, the court determined parenting, education, and child support issues under the Children’s Law Reform Act and the Child Support Guidelines.
The court found that both parents loved the child and both had committed forms of family violence, but concluded that the child required greater school-week stability and that the father had demonstrated stronger engagement with the child’s attendance and school functioning.
The existing 2-2-3 shared parenting regime was found not to be in the child’s best interests, although the mother’s time still met the s. 9 shared-parenting threshold when calculated hourly.
The court ordered primary residence with the father during the school year, preserved the child’s attendance at private school, prohibited homeschooling, imposed detailed decision-making and communication terms, imputed income to the mother from October 1, 2025, and ordered set-off child support together with proportionate section 7 contributions.
