The Children's Aid Society brought a status review application seeking to terminate its supervision order over a young child.
Both parents agreed to the termination but disputed the subsequent custody and access arrangement under section 57.1 of the Child and Family Services Act.
The mother sought primary care or joint custody with primary residence, while the father sought sole or joint custody with primary residence.
The court considered the child's best interests, noting the parents' high conflict, the father's pending deportation proceedings, and the child's positive development under the existing shared parenting arrangement.
The court ordered joint legal custody with primary residence to the mother, maintaining the child's attendance at an Ontario school, and granted the mother a restraining order against the father.
