The children's aid society brought a motion to vary the supervision terms of temporary care orders, seeking to maintain the children's placement with their mother subject to new conditions following her recent hospitalization for a psychiatric condition.
The father and step-mother brought a cross-motion seeking temporary care and custody of the children, alleging parental alienation.
The court found a material change in circumstances due to the mother's mental health relapse but determined it was in the children's best interests to remain with their mother under strict supervision terms, as her condition was treatable and the children strongly opposed living with their father.
The cross-motion was dismissed, and access to the father was ordered to be at the children's discretion.
