The Society brought a motion for summary judgment seeking an extended care order for three children who were apprehended due to the parents' homelessness, substance abuse, and domestic violence.
The father was noted in default.
The mother opposed the motion, seeking the return of the children or, alternatively, extensive access.
The court found no genuine issue for trial, as the mother had not mitigated the risk factors and continued to struggle with drug use and housing instability.
The court ordered extended care with supervised access for the mother once per month, finding that more frequent access was not in the children's best interests given her history of missed visits.
