The applicant father brought a motion seeking a shared parenting arrangement of approximately 50 percent of parenting time and a corresponding adjustment to child support under the Child Support Guidelines.
The respondent mother brought a cross-motion seeking continuation of the existing primary residence arrangement with defined access, contribution to s. 7 expenses, counselling for the children, and conduct orders.
The court found the parties unable to agree on the parenting schedule despite both asserting the status quo should continue pending trial.
The court therefore imposed an interim parenting schedule based on the father’s shift-work schedule while reserving determinations regarding primary residence, daycare expenses, and potential adjustment of child support to trial.
The court also ordered counselling, mutual non-disparagement provisions, and updated financial disclosure.
