Week-on/week-off parenting schedule denied for 20-month-old child to prevent extended separations from primary parent.
The applicant father sought a week-on/week-off parenting schedule and permission to travel to Mexico for a week with the parties' 20-month-old child.
The father's freelance work schedule allowed him to care for the child on alternate weeks.
The mother opposed the schedule, arguing the child was too young to be separated from her for a full week.
The court applied the AFCC Parenting Guidelines, finding that a toddler should not be separated from either parent for more than two to three days.
The court dismissed the father's requests, establishing a schedule that prevented extended separations while maximizing the father's parenting time during his available week.
The court dismissed the applicant's motion to change child support due to his deliberate and persistent non-compliance with previous court orders.
The applicant, Wilcason Bullock, moved to vary a 2012 child support order, claiming reduced income and that his children were no longer "children of the marriage." The respondent, Michelle Bullock, moved to dismiss his variation motion due to his repeated breaches of multiple court orders, including non-payment of support arrears, non-payment of interest on costs, failure to provide proof of life insurance, and persistent financial non-disclosure.
The court found that the applicant deliberately breached these orders, which undermined the respondent's ability to respond to his motion and secure a fair determination of the issues.
The court dismissed the applicant's motion to vary, ordered him to redeem his RRSP to reduce arrears, and pay the respondent's costs.
