This case addresses motions within a child protection status review application concerning the temporary care and custody of a 7-year-old child.
Following the criminal charging of the maternal grandfather, who previously had custody, the mother and father each sought temporary care.
The Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Toronto (CCAS) proposed joint care.
The court, emphasizing the child's best interests and the parents' high conflict, rejected joint custody.
It ordered the child to be placed in the temporary care and custody of the mother, with significant access to the father, and mandated counseling for both parents to mitigate conflict.
