The applicant sought an interim parenting order following separation from the respondent after 11 years of marriage.
The parties have three children.
Criminal charges of assault and damage to property against the respondent were withdrawn after he completed a Direct Accountability program.
The eldest child began residing with the respondent following a serious medical issue in January 2025.
The two younger children were placed in the respondent's care on July 12, 2025, under disputed circumstances.
The applicant alleged the respondent was restricting her contact with the children and not supporting their relationship.
The respondent denied these allegations and argued the children preferred to remain with him.
The court found both parties engaged in problematic behaviour but granted the applicant interim parenting time with a detailed schedule, finding the respondent had failed to support the children's relationship with the applicant.
