The parties brought competing motions regarding parenting time and decision-making for their two young children.

The mother sought to restrict the father's parenting time based on allegations of physical abuse, which the Children's Aid Society could not verify.

The court found the father's evidence more credible, dismissed the mother's motions, and granted the father unsupervised parenting time according to a previously agreed-upon schedule, along with shared decision-making responsibility.

Both parties' requests for a police enforcement clause were dismissed.

The applicant mother moved for week-about access to her two children, who had been living with the respondent father since separation.

The father opposed, citing the mother's ongoing substance abuse and mental health issues, which had led to CAS involvement.

The court found that the current access arrangements lacked structure and required a change.

However, due to the mother's ongoing issues and the negative impact on the children, the court denied week-about access and instead ordered a temporary weekend access regime.
