A child protection society brought a motion for summary judgment seeking a finding that an eleven-year-old child was in need of protection and should be placed in the care of the father under a six-month supervision order with conditions regarding access to the mother.
The mother opposed the motion and sought a trial.
The court granted summary judgment, finding that the child had suffered physical and emotional harm due to ongoing parental conflict and that the mother had not demonstrated sufficient insight or change to warrant a different disposition.
The court found no genuine issue for trial on the issues of protection, disposition, or access.
