The decision addresses interim spousal support and parenting time in the context of a short relationship with one young child.
The court increases interim spousal support to $3,000 per month, declines to order retroactive support, and grants the respondent an additional overnight of parenting time every two weeks, as well as permission to travel with the child to the Akwesasne Reserve in New York without the applicant’s consent.
The court balances the parties’ financial circumstances, the best interests of the child, and the importance of maintaining the child’s connection to her Indigenous heritage.
