On a father's motion to change a final parenting order, the court held that no material change in circumstances had been established under s. 29 of the Children's Law Reform Act.
Allegations that the mother neglected the child's medical, educational, therapeutic, and extracurricular needs, and failed to consult properly, were rejected on the evidence.
The court further held that, even if the threshold had been met, joint decision-making and expanded parenting time would not be in the child's best interests given the father's unilateral conduct, poor communication, the child's anxiety, and the child's stated preference to maintain the existing schedule.
The motion to change was dismissed, communication was restricted to Our Family Wizard, and the moving party was required to obtain leave before bringing any further motion to change.
