Following a brief marriage and the birth of a child, the applicant sought custody, child support, section 7 expenses, retroactive and ongoing support, and limited access arrangements for the respondent father residing in the United States.
The court found the father intentionally under‑employed and imputed income of $150,000 for child support purposes under the Federal Child Support Guidelines.
Evidence from supervised access providers demonstrated the father’s interactions with the child were appropriate, while the applicant had interfered with access.
The court ordered a structured regime beginning with supervised access followed by unsupervised access in Ontario, declining immediate international access visits.
Retroactive child support and limited retroactive spousal support during the maternity leave period were granted, and proportionate contributions were ordered for childcare expenses.
