The father brought a motion for a defined parenting schedule with the parties' three-year-old son, and the mother brought a cross-motion seeking sole decision-making responsibility and child support.
The court declined to make a temporary order on decision-making, finding it was not a pressing issue, but ordered the mother could enrol the child in Junior Kindergarten.
On parenting time, the court declined to apply the AFCC-O Parenting Plan Guide as a mandatory benchmark, disagreeing with the Divisional Court's apparent elevation of the Guide in Tremblay-Chartier v. Blanchette.
The court ordered a four-week rotating schedule giving the father midweek overnight and alternate weekend parenting time, balancing the child's need for stability against meaningful contact with the father in light of family violence allegations and the father's remedial steps.
