Interim distribution of matrimonial home proceeds granted; respondent ordered to disclose 17-year-old son's address.
The applicant brought a motion for an interim distribution of the proceeds from the sale of the matrimonial home, disclosure of her 17-year-old son's address, and severance of the divorce from corollary relief.
The respondent opposed the distribution, arguing the funds should be held as security for child support and to prevent the applicant from funding vexatious litigation.
The court granted the interim distribution, finding sufficient funds would remain in trust to secure any potential child support obligations.
The court also ordered the respondent to disclose the son's address, as the child had not withdrawn from parental control.
The remaining issues were adjourned.
The court granted summary judgment terminating Crown wardship and returning the children to their parents.
A motion for summary judgment brought by the parents seeking termination of a Crown wardship order and placement of two children in their permanent care with society supervision.
The parents sought final orders regarding access to foster parents.
The Children's Aid Society initially sought a termination of the Crown wardship order and society supervision, but later amended its position to seek more structured access between the children and foster parents.
The Office of the Children's Lawyer opposed the summary judgment motion, arguing that conflicting evidence regarding the children's views and preferences required a trial.
The court granted the parents' summary judgment motion, finding no genuine issue for trial despite the children's expressed wishes to maintain contact with foster parents, based on uncontested material facts regarding the foster parents' inappropriate conduct and manipulation during the reunification process.
