The applicant father sought primary weekday parenting time and interim child support for the parties' two children.
The respondent mother cross-moved for dismissal, declaratory orders for torts of family violence and battered women's syndrome, supervised visits for the father, sole decision-making, and child support.
The court dismissed the respondent's tort claims, affirming no such torts exist in Ontario.
The court criticized the respondent's motion materials for non-compliance with practice directions.
The court found both parties engaged in family violence: the respondent through emotional/psychological abuse by withholding children and misusing police contact, and the applicant through financial abuse by not paying support and attempting to divert child benefits.
The court ordered a shared parenting schedule, rejecting the father's request for primary weekday care and the mother's request for supervised visits and sole decision-making.
Interim child support was ordered, with the applicant paying retroactive and ongoing set-off support based on imputed incomes.
Detailed communication and transition orders were also made, superseding criminal undertaking conditions.
