Sole custody and support granted in uncontested trial; request for police enforcement of access denied.
In an uncontested trial, the applicant mother sought sole custody, child support, and various orders including a police enforcement clause for access.
The court granted sole custody to the mother and ordered the father to pay ongoing and retroactive child support based on an imputed income of $64,000, as well as his proportionate share of section 7 expenses.
The court extensively reviewed the jurisprudence on police enforcement clauses and declined to order one, finding it was not in the child's best interests given the child's vulnerability and the father's history of unmanaged anger.
The court also ordered the father to pay his share of joint debt and awarded full costs to the mother.
Motion for temporary spousal support dismissed; income imputed to mother capable of non-managerial work.
The respondent mother brought a motion for temporary spousal support.
She had quit her retail management job due to stress and anxiety, and sought support while upgrading her education to pursue a new career.
The court found her career plan lacked concrete details and noted she was capable of working in a non-managerial role.
The court imputed income to the mother based on her work history and dismissed the motion for temporary spousal support, finding her financial need was largely self-created.
