There had been a expanding trend, in Ontario, in loved ones and divorce law, over the last couple of years, for loved ones courts to order joint custody of youngsters. The hope, by some, was that the parenting skills of the parties could be enhanced with awards of joint custody. The current Ontario Court of Appeal decision of Kaplanis v. Kaplanis, has tried to put this trend into perspective.
In this choice, the parties had been married in 1998 and separated in January 2002. The parties had a daughter who was born in October 2001. At trial, the father requested joint custody and the mother opposed the application, stating that the parties could not communicate without screaming at every other. The trial judge granted the parties joint custody and the mother appealed the order. The appeal court set aside the order of joint custody and the mother was granted sole custody.
The Appeal Court held that, for an award of joint custody to be granted, there should be some evidence that demonstrates, that in spite of the parents own powerful conflict with each and every other, the parties can and have cooperated and communicated appropriately with a single another. In this case there was evidence to the contrary, there was no expert evidence to help the trial judge establish how a joint custody order would advance the childs emotional and psychological demands and the kid was also young to communicate her own wishes.
Roughly the exact same time this case was decided, the Ontario Court of Appeal also ruled on the case of Ladisa v. Ladisa, where the appeal court upheld the trial judges order of joint custody. In this case the trial judge had the benefit of hearing the evidence of the Childrens Lawyer who presented the childrens wishes and who advised joint custody. It was held that the trial judge had heard evidence from third parties with respect to cooperation and suitable communication in between the parties. The trial judge also looked at the history of co-parenting during the marriage and that regardless of their intense conflict, the parties could and had efficiently communicated with each other and placed the interests of their kids ahead their own, when necessary.
To summarize, in Ontario joint custody cases, it would appear that the courts will now be looking a lot more closely for evidence from third party and professional witnesses, which can demonstrate that the parties can and have cooperated and communicated appropriately and have been able to put aside their personal differences and conflict, for the benefit of the young children.
