The applicant father brought an urgent motion for interim parenting time with his two young children.
The respondent mother opposed the motion, citing concerns about the children's exposure to family violence and the father's erratic behaviour.
The court applied the newly amended Divorce Act, emphasizing a human rights-based approach and the impact of family violence on the children's best interests.
The court ordered a slight increase in the father's parenting time, largely adopting the mother's proposed schedule with strict conditions, but allowing contact with the children's half-sibling.
