“The parties appeared before me for a seven-day trial. The Father was represented by senior counsel, while the Mother represented herself. Both parents testified, along with two school principals, the Father’s new partner, the Mother’s family friend, and a social worker and clinical investigator with the Office of the Children’s Lawyer (“OCL”), Eva Casino. Ms. Casino testified that the Child, was able to articulate his views and preferences clearly and that his views were independent, balanced, and insightful. I rely on both her testimony and the OCL Report. The parties did not oppose the Court taking judicial notice of information contained in the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (Ontario) 2021 Parenting Plan Guide (“Parenting Plan Guide”), which succinctly outlines the developmental needs of children of separated parents who are around the same age of the Child, and also provides guidance on developing appropriate parenting plans in the face of family violence.”
