The applicant mother brought a motion to set aside access terms agreed to in Minutes of Settlement and to suspend the respondent father's access to the parties' child until supervised access could be arranged.
Evidence included allegations of emotional instability, criminal charges, and a negative family assessment recommending sole custody to the mother with supervised access for the father.
The respondent father argued the settlement terms were binding and alleged misconduct by the mother, including attempts to interfere with his relationship with the child.
The court held that the best interests of the child required that access occur only in a supervised setting by a neutral third party.
The applicant's motion was granted and supervised access ordered.
