The respondent mother sought summary judgment for final orders regarding decision-making, parenting time, and travel for the children, and a restraining order against the applicant father.

The father, self-represented, opposed the motion but failed to file responding evidence.

The court granted the mother's motion for summary judgment on all parenting issues, finding no genuine issue requiring a trial, given the father's hostile conduct, inability to prioritize the children's best interests over his fixation on the separation, and refusal to engage in supervised access.

The court ordered sole decision-making and primary residence to the mother, supervised parenting time for the father through a professional program, and authorized the mother to arrange travel and apply for passports without the father's consent.

The request for a restraining order was dismissed without prejudice due to it not being pleaded.

The respondent brought an urgent motion seeking interim sole decision-making responsibility for the parties' child, communication restrictions, and a restraining order.

The child, who has autism spectrum disorder, was experiencing severe behavioural issues at school and required immediate medical and educational interventions.

The applicant refused to consent to treatment or services unless his conditions for unsupervised parenting time were met.

The court granted the respondent sole decision-making responsibility for the child's health and schooling, and ordered the applicant to restrict his communications to civil, child-focused matters through counsel.

The request for a restraining order was dismissed as not urgent.

The applicant father brought an urgent motion seeking the return of the children to the matrimonial home and primary care after the respondent mother unilaterally left with them to a shelter.

The mother raised concerns regarding the father's anger and verbal abuse.

The court dismissed the father's motion, finding it imprudent to order the children's return on an inadequate factual record.

The court ordered that the father's parenting time remain supervised pending further investigation by the Office of the Children's Lawyer.

Following the dismissal of the applicant father's motion to change custody and access, the respondent mother sought costs of $21,127.77.

The court found the mother was entirely successful and that the father had behaved unreasonably throughout the proceeding, including filing false affidavits and failing to provide financial disclosure.

The court awarded the mother costs on a substantial indemnity basis in the amount of $18,000, with $6,000 to be enforced through the Family Responsibility Office.

The children's aid society brought a motion for summary judgment seeking an order for extended society care and no access for the parents of a ten-month-old child.

The mother struggled with long-standing opiate addiction and had recently relapsed, while the father was incarcerated and had no relationship with the child.

The court granted summary judgment for extended society care and no access to the father, finding no genuine issue requiring a trial on those issues.

However, the court found a genuine issue existed regarding the mother's access and ordered a mini-trial to determine that issue.

The applicant father sought sole custody of the parties' three children and reimbursement for a loan.

The respondent mother sought dismissal of the father's claims, sole discretion for access, retroactive child support, a restraining order, and an order precluding the father from bringing further motions without leave.

The court dismissed the father's motion, finding his evidence lacked credibility and that he was intentionally underemployed.

The court granted the mother sole custody, limited the father's access to the older children to the mother's discretion, ordered supervised and gradually increasing access for the youngest child (Chance) contingent on the father completing parenting courses, imputed income to the father for retroactive and ongoing child support, and issued a restraining order against the father.
