CaseChat Overview and Summary

The matter of *Landon and Landon* concerned parenting arrangements for two children. The court was required to make orders regarding the father's time with the children, including alternative weekend periods and additional mid-week time. The court also addressed the procedure for notifying the other party in the event of non-compliance with the orders and the filing of contravention applications.

The primary legal issues before the court were the specific terms and commencement dates for the father's periods of time with the children, the communication protocols in case of inability to comply with parenting orders, and the process for seeking leave to file contravention applications. The court also dealt with ancillary matters including costs and the filing of various affidavits and notices.

Justice Rose made detailed orders specifying the commencement of alternative weekend periods with the father, linking them to the school term. Further orders established a mid-week period of time for the father in alternate weeks. The court also stipulated that in the event of non-compliance, the party unable to comply must notify the other party via text message with a brief reason, and that leave must be obtained before filing a contravention application. The father was ordered to pay the mother's costs for a specific hearing.
