Jolanta B. Bula

The mother brought a motion to change a 2012 order, seeking sole custody of both children, a reduction in access, and child support.

The father sought sole custody and primary residence based on an Office of the Children's Lawyer report.

The court rejected the OCL's recommendation to transfer primary residence to the father, finding the mother's home was now clean and the father exhibited alienating behaviours.

The court granted the mother sole custody of both children due to the parents' inability to communicate, but ordered that both parents have decision-making authority regarding religious practices while the children are in their care.

The existing access schedule was largely maintained, and the claim for child support was dismissed.

The parties separated after an 11-year cohabitation and marriage during which they operated a joint property maintenance business.

The applicant sought an equalization of net family property and spousal support.

The court preferred the applicant's evidence due to the respondent's failure to provide accurate financial disclosure and valuations.

The court determined the value of disputed assets, including a partially built home and business equipment, and ordered the respondent to pay an equalization payment of $161,727.28 (as corrected in the addendum).

The court also found the applicant entitled to spousal support on both compensatory and non-compensatory grounds, imputing an income of $80,000 to the respondent and ordering him to pay $800 per month for five years.
