The respondent father brought an emergency motion without notice seeking sole custody and suspension of the applicant mother's access to their son, alleging the child was at risk due to violence by an individual associated with the applicant.
The court reviewed the emergency order and found that while the respondent's concerns about the applicant's judgment had some basis, there was no real threat to the child at that time.
The court vacated the emergency order and restored the joint custody and access arrangement established by the parties' consent order dated January 23, 2019, effective December 14, 2020.
The matter was adjourned for a case conference to proceed through the motion to change process.
