The applicant mother and respondent father brought cross-motions for an interim parenting schedule for their 13-year-old child.
The mother sought an equal shared parenting schedule, while the father sought a schedule giving the mother approximately 35% of parenting time.
The court found a material change in circumstances due to the child's recent ADHD and anxiety diagnoses, as well as the mother's return to Toronto from Rhode Island to support the child.
Considering the child's expressed preference for more time with the mother and the need for stability, the court ordered an interim week-about shared parenting schedule.
