The applicant father brought a motion for specific terms of access to his two children following a separation agreement that provided for joint custody with primary residence with the respondent mother in North Bay.
The respondent mother sought to restrict access, citing various personal difficulties.
The court found that the respondent had not provided adequate justification for restricting the established access arrangements and that she had functioned as a problem-maker rather than a problem-solver.
The court maintained the status quo access schedule and ordered that the matter proceed to trial on the issues of access arrangements and child support.
The court also imposed restrictions on parental conduct, including prohibitions on negative speech about the other parent and on unilateral mental health consultations with the children.
