The applicant father and respondent mother brought competing proposals for an interim parenting schedule for their two young children, aged 22 months and 6 months.
The father sought equal time and immediate overnights for the infant, while the mother sought to reduce the father's time with the older child and delay overnights for the infant.
The court strongly criticized the parents' high-conflict litigation approach.
Applying the best interests of the child test under the Divorce Act, the court maintained the father's existing overnight schedule for the older child and ordered a gradual implementation of overnights for the infant, commencing in February 2025.
