The parties engaged in a high-conflict family law trial addressing custody, access, child support, and spousal support.
The applicant father sought sole custody, alleging the respondent mother alienated the children and caused the teenage daughter's mental health crises.
The court found a material change in circumstances and awarded sole custody to the applicant, noting the children thrived in his care while the respondent lacked insight into how her conduct harmed them.
The respondent was granted specified access.
The court imputed income to the respondent for child support purposes due to intentional under-employment.
The respondent was awarded spousal support on compensatory and non-compensatory grounds, but the court declined to include the applicant's post-separation income increases in the calculation.
The court also permitted the applicant to set off unpaid costs awards against an equalization payment owed to the respondent.
