Summary: The mother applied to change the shared parenting arrangement between the parties to a parallel parenting arrangement. The father sought to continue the shared parenting arrangement and return to a four day on/four day off rotation. Given the high conflict nature of this matter, a parallel parenting arrangement was ordered. The court accepted that lessening the number of transitions between the homes was in the children’s best interests. The current week on/week off arrangement was preferable to the four on/four off schedule proposed by the father.
