That cost doesn't sound right.
Here is the service in the Niagara Region.
$40 a MONTH and fee assistance is available.

The cost is only one variable. The waiting lists add to the delay facilitating false status quo.
The problem is that these services are being misused for custody/Litigation battles.
It should be reserved for parents who lack the self regulation/communication skills and emotional regulation and/or who have a history of violence (physical/verbal)... or even addiction. Right now parent A says parent B is no good ...provides no evidence supporting claims and says that's the only way they can see their child. It's now a standard step on all cases....ridiculous.

It's been awhile, but I have a small update. My ex's lawyer got back to me and they are in agreement to change the times on the interim order. The problem is that we tried doing this during the previous motion in early March and the judge refused to make any changes until the OCL report is ready.
I consulted with a new lawyer last week who just happened to be in the court room during that motion, and he confirmed that filing another motion before the OCL disclosure would likely have no result. This temporary judge is apparently a bit of an idiot, and has been a headache for many of the local lawyers.
I've been self representing in the meantime. The OCL disclosure meeting is at the end of this month. Once I have the report in hand (which I am 99% certain will be in my favor) I'll schedule a settlement conference as soon as possible to get this straightened out. Will post back in a few weeks.

Finally had the OCL disclosure meeting, and their recommendation is that I be granted sole custody of the children. I am still waiting on receiving the formal report document in the mail from their office in Toronto, but I anticipate it will arrive sometime next week.
In the meantime I've received an interim offer to settle from my ex's lawyer, that vaguely describes an access arrangement and vacation schedule for the summer months. I responded with a series of questions to address the ambiguous or missing points of the offer to settle. He responded with a minutes of settlement which addresses my questions.
The matter is scheduled to be spoken to this coming Monday, but I am hesitant to agree to these minutes of settlement. I want more than anything to have regular access restored with the kids, but the language of the minutes of settlement worries me. Based on the short time frame I have been unable to book time with my consulting lawyer until later next week.
At this point it seems like I've won a major battle in a long war, and I don't want to screw anything up this close to a resolution. Here's a link to a white-out copy of the minutes on this thread, could someone give me feedback?

Don't buy into their offer, prepare a count offer based on OCL report with kids primary residence to father and mother having access every other weekend. They rush into a settlement because they want to close a deal faster, if you believe that you need more time ask the judge for an adjournment to properly prepare your offer and to consult with your lawyer, don't rush making a decision.

The conclusion was that the mother intentionally fabricated allegations, continually made attempts to block any access with the children, and withheld information regarding their education and developmental progress. She basically has made every attempt to frustrate the relationship. None of her assertions could be verified / no evidence was found to back them up.
They stated that she has been unreasonable basically since the initial separation, whereas I've made every attempt to be reasonable and/or compromise. Because of this history of behavior, they feel I'm better suited to co-parent and make the important decisions regarding the children.
I'll make a white-out copy of the report available in this thread once I receive it. Could be helpful to other people to understand the process, or as a comparison to another investigation. I have heard good and bad things about OCL investigations, and it's certainly possible to have a bad experience of your social worker isn't doing their job properly.
