The applicant moved for financial disclosure from her former spouse in the context of a motion to change child support.

The court found that the motion was improperly briefed by both parties, with voluminous and confusing materials filed at the last minute.

Despite the procedural deficiencies, the court ruled on the outstanding undertakings and refusals from the respondent's questioning, ordering him to provide the requested financial information.

No costs were awarded due to the applicant's failure to provide a timely costs outline and the disproportionate nature of the costs claimed.

The mother brought a motion for sole custody of the parties' three-year-old child, while the father sought joint custody.

The court found that both parties were good parents but were unable to communicate or make joint decisions.

To ensure both parents remained fully involved in the child's life, the court ordered joint custody with a parallel parenting arrangement, granting the father primary responsibility for educational decisions and the mother primary responsibility for all other decisions.

The child's primary residence was ordered to remain with the mother, and an access schedule was established for the father.
