The applicant father and respondent mother engaged in a high-conflict parenting dispute over their four-year-old child.
The father had unilaterally relocated the child from Brampton to Wolfe Island without notice to the mother, effectively frustrating her parenting time.
The court found that the father had engaged in a pattern of coercive control, financial abuse, and psychological abuse against the mother, and had repeatedly denied her parenting time, including during COVID-19 lockdowns.
The court denied the father's relocation, ordered the child returned to the mother's primary residence in Toronto, and granted the mother sole decision-making responsibility.
The father was granted specified parenting time and ordered to pay child support based on an imputed income.
