The applicant father brought a motion for summary judgment to enforce an alleged parenting agreement for a 2-2-3 shared parenting schedule, or alternatively, for a temporary order for the same.
The respondent mother opposed shared parenting, citing allegations of intimate partner violence and substance abuse, and sought to restrict the father's parenting time.
The court reviewed the history of the parties' parenting and the mother's shifting positions.
Applying the best interests of the child test under section 16 of the Divorce Act, the court found no ongoing risk to the children and ordered a 2-2-3 shared parenting schedule, along with interim set-off child support.
