The applicant father sought an equal parenting time order for the three children, while the respondent mother sought primary care.
The parties continued to reside in the matrimonial home post-separation, leading to high conflict.
The court considered the best interests of the children under the Divorce Act, including factors like stability, relationships with parents, and the children's views.
The court ordered a temporary parenting schedule where the children would reside with the father on alternate weekends (Friday to Monday), every Wednesday overnight, and every Thursday (evening during school year, overnight during summer).
The court also ordered a privately funded Voice of the Child Report and mediation.
Costs were not awarded to either party due to their unreasonable behaviour and divided success.
