The applicant mother and respondent father separated in 2021 and have two children.
The father subsequently experienced homelessness, mental health struggles, and substance abuse issues.
Following a family law trial where the father was self-represented and failed to file materials, the court granted the mother primary residence and sole decision-making responsibility, with supervised parenting time for the father.
The court declined to impute a higher income to the father due to his personal struggles, ordering child support based on social assistance levels, and requested further submissions regarding the mother's constructive trust claim over the family home.
