This decision resolves a family law dispute between Parmjot K. Kounsil and Harpreet Singh Kounsil, addressing issues including the date of separation, property in Alberta, primary residence and decision-making for the child K., parental communication, transportation, alcohol use, relocation, travel, income imputation, child and spousal support, health and life insurance, supervision costs, and costs of the proceeding.

The court finds the date of separation to be March 2018, orders sole decision-making to the mother, imputes minimum wage income to the father for certain years, and makes detailed orders on child support, health coverage, and other matters.

The applicant sought custody of two children and sought to restrict the respondent's access to supervised visits only, citing concerns about physical discipline and anger management.

The respondent sought to restore what he characterized as the status quo of every weekend access.

The court found that the status quo was the applicant having custody with the respondent exercising weekend access and paying chart child support.

The court rejected the applicant's request for supervised access, finding insufficient evidence to warrant such restriction.

The court established an access schedule of every other weekend and midweek Wednesday visits, with special Christmas access provisions.

The court emphasized the importance of both parents supporting the children's relationship with the other parent and discouraged cross-examination of children about their time with the other parent.

The respondent brought a motion to terminate child support for one child, recalculate child support, and fix arrears for Section 7 expenses.

The applicant sought payment of Section 7 expenses and ongoing support for the other child.

The court terminated child support for the elder child as of August 1, 2012.

The applicant's claim for Section 7 expenses was largely denied due to her non-compliance with a prior court order requiring consent and receipts, except for $8,000 for extracurriculars and $1,500 for uninsured medical expenses.

The respondent's child support overpayment of $19,317 was recognized and offset by the $9,500 owed to the applicant.

The court emphasized the importance of adhering to prior settlement agreements and disclosure obligations.
