The respondent mother brought a motion for an equally shared parenting schedule for the parties' three children.
The applicant father had unilaterally suspended the mother's in-person contact with the children based on various allegations, which prompted a Children's Aid Society investigation that ultimately found no safety concerns.
The court rejected the father's reliance on highly suspicious hearsay evidence, including a purported chat message from one of the children.
Applying the maximum contact principle and the best interests of the children, the court granted the mother's motion and ordered an equally shared temporary parenting schedule.
