This family law proceeding addressed issues of custody, access, child support, arrears, equalization of net family property, and the children's passports following the parties' separation.
The applicant sought sole custody, table child support, and the ability to obtain passports for the children, while the respondent sought joint custody, reduced child support due to hardship, and opposed passports.
The court granted the applicant sole custody, finding that joint custody was unworkable due to the parents' inability to communicate effectively.
The respondent was granted liberal access with a structured schedule.
The court ordered the respondent to pay table child support, rejecting his undue hardship claim, and fixed child support arrears at a reduced amount.
An equalization payment was also ordered, and the applicant was permitted to obtain passports for the children.
