“I will deal with the criteria in ss. 24(3)(a) – (f) [of the Family Law Act] together. Violence referred to in s. 24(3)(f) is not restricted to physical violence. It includes a “psychological assault upon the sensibilities of [another] to a degree which renders continued sharing of the matrimonial dwelling impractical.” Where the conduct is “calculated to produce and does in fact produce an anxiety” state which puts a person in fear of the other’s behaviour and impinges on that person’s mental and physical health, violence has been done to his or her emotion equilibrium as if he or she had been struck by a physical blow. (Hill v. Hill, [1987] O.J. No. 2297 at paras. 25).”:
