The parties separated in February 2026 and have two young children.
Both parties brought motions for interim relief regarding parenting and exclusive possession of the matrimonial home.
The mother sought primary care and exclusive possession, citing the father's extensive marijuana use, unemployment, and threatening text messages.
The father sought decision-making responsibility and to reside in the matrimonial home with the children.
The court found it in the children's best interests to reside primarily with the mother, given her role as primary caregiver and concerns over the father's marijuana use and threatening behaviour.
The father was granted parenting time in the community, with restrictions on substance use.
The mother was granted exclusive possession of the matrimonial home due to financial constraints and the children's need for stability.
