CanLII - 2016 ONSC 72 (CanLII)
1. Why would we need a 36 day custody trial where the basic facts are pretty straightforward?
2. Not such a tough set of facts, really. Nothing we don’t see in family court every day.
3. So why did we need a 36 day trial?
4. Why did we need 20 witnesses, including teachers, a principal and vice-principal, CAS workers, a family doctor, and a custody/access assessor?
5. Why did parents of modest means choose to impoverish themselves – and their daughter’s future -- for a needlessly destructive three-year court battle?
6. For the sake of the child?
7. Not a chance.
8. Custody trials are supposed to be about children. But 36 days – that speaks volumes about the parents.
a. One child. A delightful eight year old girl with minor academic issues but no special needs.
b. She loves both parents equally. She wants to spend as much time as possible with each of them.
c. Both parents are equally capable and dedicated to meeting all her needs.
d. But the parents can’t get along or communicate with one another. Not at all.
