Following the death of the children's mother, the maternal grandmother and the non-biological father figure both sought temporary custody and primary residence of the two young children.
The court considered the best interests of the children under the Children's Law Reform Act, noting the children's need for stability after multiple recent moves.
The court ordered that the children reside with the grandmother during the school week to facilitate online learning, and with the father figure on weekends.
No temporary order for legal custody was made, but the father figure was granted medical decision-making authority.
