The parties separated after a high-conflict marriage.
The main issues at trial were parenting arrangements, decision-making authority, and equalization of net family property.
The court found that the respondent mother had engaged in marginalizing conduct and attempted to alienate the children from the applicant father.
The court ordered a shared parenting week-about schedule and granted final decision-making authority to the father, subject to a detailed communication protocol.
On equalization, the court found that funds advanced by the mother's parents were a loan, and waived the father's equalization payment due to the mother's non-disclosure and unilateral disposal of household contents.
The mother was ordered to reimburse the father for post-separation adjustments.
