Father's motion for unsupervised parenting time denied due to pending child pornography charges and child's self-harm threats.
The respondent father brought a motion for unsupervised overnight parenting time with the parties' 11-year-old child.
The father was facing serious criminal charges for possession of child pornography and was subject to strict bail conditions restricting his contact with children.
The applicant mother opposed the motion, citing the father's mental health issues, the criminal charges, and the child's statements of self-harm if forced to have overnight visits.
The court dismissed the father's motion, ordering that supervised parenting time at the visit centre continue to ensure the child's safety and stability pending the outcome of the criminal trial.
Interim spousal support of $1,750 per month ordered after imputing income to self-employed respondent.
The applicant sought interim spousal support retroactive to the date of separation following a 41-year marriage.
The respondent, a self-employed truck driver, claimed his income had significantly declined due to health issues and the pandemic.
The court found the applicant had established a prima facie case for compensatory support.
Due to insufficient financial disclosure and analysis regarding the respondent's business deductions, the court imputed an interim annual income of approximately $79,000 to the respondent.
The court ordered interim spousal support of $1,750 per month, deferred the issue of retroactive support to trial, and ordered the respondent to maintain the applicant on his health benefits and life insurance.
