The parties separated after a short, traditional marriage.
The father assumed primary care of their young child and engaged in a pattern of coercive and controlling behaviour, including restricting the mother's parenting time, making unfounded allegations about her mental health, and psychologically abusing the child by involving him in the litigation.
The mother sought sole decision-making responsibility, primary parenting time, spousal support, and equalization.
The court found the father to be an 'unfriendly parent' who engaged in family violence and could not be trusted with decision-making.
The court awarded the mother residual decision-making responsibility and ordered a transition to a shared parenting schedule, ultimately culminating in a 2-2-5 schedule.
The court also imputed income to the father, ordering him to pay retroactive and prospective child and spousal support, as well as an equalization payment of $124,542.43.
