The respondent father brought a motion for reunification counselling with his daughter, interim spousal support, interim disbursements, and an equalization payment advance.
The applicant mother opposed the relief.
The court found it had jurisdiction under the Children's Law Reform Act to order reunification therapy and directed the parties to engage a specified therapist.
The court awarded the father interim spousal support of $500 per month but dismissed his claims for interim disbursements and an equalization advance, finding the mother lacked the means and the test for an advance was not met.
