What is the state of communication between the parties in a shared parenting arrangement?

The affidavits reflect numerous difficulties in communication between the parties. It is clear they have not yet reached the point where they are able to engage with each without other emotionally charged conflict. As I stated in G.E.R v. H.J.R. 2012 PESC 24, at para. 24, such conflict is not conducive to a shared parenting arrangement: 24 A shared parenting arrangement requires a degree of maturity and responsibility. Both parents must be able to set aside their conflicts with one another in order to attend to the best interests of their children. The parties must be capable of, and willing to, communicate with each other to address the needs and wishes of the children. That is a fundamental requirement of a shared parenting arrangement. When one or both parents cannot do that, a shared parenting arrangement will not be effective and can negatively affect the best interests of the children. Failure by one parent to communicate important information about a child, or circumstances affecting the child, to the other parent is contrary to the best interests of a child.
