The appellant appealed a trial judgment awarding sole custody of the parties' two children to the respondent with minimal access, as well as spousal support.
The Court of Appeal upheld the sole custody order due to the high conflict and lack of communication between the parents.
However, the Court found the trial judge erred by ordering minimal access despite recognizing the appellant's ability to assist with the child's special needs.
Applying the maximum contact principle, the Court increased the appellant's access to 35 percent.
The appeal regarding spousal support was dismissed.
