Law360 Canada ( August 27, 2026, 9:36 AM EDT) -- Appeal by Shahid from trial orders dividing family property equally, awarding child and spousal support, granting Sattar final parenting decision-making authority, and excluding money advanced by Shahid’s father from family debt. Application by Shahid to introduce additional evidence that was not introduced at trial. The parties married in 2016, immigrated to Canada in 2019, had one child, and separated in 2022. At trial, the judge found that Shahid exercised significant financial control over Sattar during the marriage, leaving her dependent on him for basic necessities and that this conduct constituted family violence. The parties disagreed about the ownership and value of jewellery, whether Sattar had financial interests or sources of income in Pakistan, whether money advanced by Shahid’s father was a loan or a gift, the extent to which income should be imputed to Sattar, and parenting arrangements. The judge found Sattar to be the more credible and reliable witness and generally preferred her evidence where the parties’ evidence conflicted. On appeal, Shahid alleged numerous errors, principally arguing that the judge erred in his credibility findings, failed to address inconsistencies in Sattar’s evidence, wrongly excluded money advanced by his father as family debt, erred in findings relating to jewellery, bank records, and parenting issues, and improperly granted Sattar final decision-making authority....
