In Part Two of a trial decision, the court determined child support, section 7 expenses, and spousal support following a transfer of primary care to the applicant father.

The court imputed additional income to the applicant based on unreported rental income but rejected the respondent's expert evidence claiming the applicant earned significant unreported cash from his pizza franchise.

The court calculated child support arrears at $3,860 and section 7 arrears at $8,136.98, crediting the applicant for a portion of undocumented cash support payments made prior to the litigation.

The court found the respondent entitled to compensatory spousal support at the mid-range effective December 24, 2021, deferring the final quantum and duration pending further submissions.

The applicant father sought primary care and sole decision-making responsibility for his two children, who had not seen him in over a year due to the respondent mother's interference.

The mother alleged the children were profoundly disabled and terrified of the father due to past family violence.

The court found that the mother was consciously or unconsciously alienating the children from the father, causing their mental health to deteriorate and creating a resist-refuse dynamic.

The court ordered a custody reversal, transferring primary residence and sole decision-making to the father, with a 30-day period of no contact with the mother to allow for intensive reunification therapy.

The court also ordered the daughter's surname to be hyphenated to include the father's surname.
