Judge bars Ontario father from matrimonial home for failing to take COVID-19 risk seriously
From the Financial Post – Normally practising a ‘nesting’ arrangement with ailing ex-wife, failure to be candid on health practices gets dad temporarily ousted
An Ontario man has effectively been barred from his matrimonial home after a family law judge found that he was not taking the risks that COVID-19 posed to his children seriously enough.
The case, heard March 31 by Justice Adriana Doyle of the family division of the Ottawa Superior Court of Justice, involved a couple that separated in August 2018 and subsequently implemented a parenting arrangement known as “nesting,” in which the adults rotated in and out of the house on an alternate-week basis, while the three children maintained their residence without disruption.
