A ten-day family law trial addressing custody, access, and child support for three children.
The father sought joint custody, specified access, and no child support obligation while in school.
The mother sought sole custody, supervised access, and retroactive child support from the date of separation.
The court awarded sole custody to the mother, established regular weekend access for the father in Toronto, and imputed income of $30,000 to the father for child support purposes, ordering $591 per month retroactive to August 2008.
The court found the father engaged in blameworthy conduct by not paying support and taking the position he had no obligation while in school.
The court also imposed restrictions on future litigation and criticized the conduct of both parties and their counsel during the trial.
