When will T.C. be able to work full time?

With regard to the burden of self-representation, in addition to my conclusion that this burden has not prevented T.C. from working two shifts per week, I conclude it should not prevent her from working full time in the future. Despite the time the parties have spent on litigation to date, this trial is over and it is hoped and expected that they will parent in a manner that avoids future court applications. While I accept that the burden of self-representation has been time consuming, T.C. past earning capacity is not at issue. On a go forward basis, the chance that there may be more litigation is not a reason to avoid working full time as that may affect child support obligations which are the right of the child. While it is undoubtedly a difficult situation to be in, courts expect that parties are capable of balancing full-time work, child care responsibilities, and the ongoing maintenance of their legal matter, at least once the central litigation in the matter is over: see, for example, Greenberg v. Greenberg, [2009] O.J. No. 5377, (Ont. S.C.J.) at paras. 187-189. I conclude that T.C. has the capacity to work full time.
