The parties engaged in a high-conflict family law trial primarily concerning the custody and primary residence of their two children following the father's military posting to Petawawa.
The mother, who had suffered catastrophic injuries in a motor vehicle accident, sought to maintain the children's primary residence in Kingston.
The court found that while both parents were capable, the mother had failed to facilitate contact between the children and the father.
Considering the older child's consistent wish to live with his father and the principle of maximum contact, the court ordered joint custody with primary residence to the father.
The court also ordered the father to pay spousal support and calculated arrears for Section 7 expenses.
