What is the impact of drinking by the father on the relationship?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Robinson v. Robinson, 2020 ONSC 7533 (CanLII):
The mother speaks to the father’s alleged abusiveness, particularly when intoxicated. Domestic violence, for the purposes of s. 24(3)(f) is broadly understood to include verbal abuse, threats, and intimidation and is a relevant factor in the determination of exclusive possession (Menchella v. Menchella, 2012 ONSC 6304 at para. 27). However, the mother’s allegations of abuse are vague and unparticularized. She does not point to any particular harm other than in the context of a highly conflictual and unsettling home situation when the parties were residing together in the matrimonial home. The father’s drinking accentuated that tension. The mother and children should not have to be exposed to that level of alcohol consumption.
