My latest Canlii commentary here:

Chase v. Chase, 2020 ONSC 5083 (CanLII)

Topical, given the current mood.

There have been a spate of cases about access, etc, since March/2020 when the pandemic gripped Ontario. This Chase case and another, by Boucher, J. (Wilson v. Wilson, unreported, August 24, 2020, FS-20-17282), appear to be the first Ontario cases dealing with whether to send a child to school (versus on-line learning) when divorced parents cannot agree.

Update:

Nolet v. Nolet, 2020 ONSC 5285 (CanLII)

– child with ADHD ordered to attend school, in-person

Zinati v. Spence, 2020 ONSC 5231 (CanLII)
