The father brought a motion for an order requiring the parties and their two children to attend a multi-day family reunification therapy program, alleging that the mother was alienating the children from him.
The mother opposed the motion and refused to consent to the therapy.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the father had not established alienation, that counselling requires the cooperation of both parents, and that the proposed therapy constituted 'treatment' under the Health Care Consent Act, 1996, thereby requiring the consent of the mother and presumptively the children.
