The applicant father brought a motion seeking interim parenting orders, and the respondent mother filed a cross-motion for interim relief.
The parties reached partial agreement, narrowing the issues to the expansion of the father's parenting time, including wrap-around weekends and mid-week overnights, and holiday schedules.
The court, applying the best interests of the child principle under the Children’s Law Reform Act, ordered an incremental increase in the father's parenting time, including an additional weekend overnight commencing in September and an every-other-week Wednesday overnight commencing in January 2024.
The court also made an interim order for Easter holiday parenting time and deferred decisions on other long weekends and summer holidays.
