This endorsement from a settlement conference addresses financial disclosure and parenting issues.
Regarding financial disclosure, the court directed the parties' Certified Business Valuators to confer and agree on necessary disclosure, with any disagreements to be addressed at a subsequent conference or motion.
On parenting, the court vacated the applicant's scheduled summary judgment motion for final custody and supervised access, exercising case management powers under the Family Law Rules.
The judge emphasized that the custody issue was not urgent, and vacating the motion would encourage alternative dispute resolution and ensure proportionate use of court resources, especially given court backlogs and upcoming changes to the Divorce Act.
