The applicant father brought a motion to find the respondent mother in contempt of a temporary parenting order after she withheld access to their child.
The mother withheld access pending a police and Children's Aid Society investigation into suspected child abuse, which was ultimately closed without charges.
The court dismissed the contempt motion, finding the mother had a reasonably held belief and legitimate justification for withholding the child.
The court also dismissed the father's requests to change primary residence, order joint custody, and restrict the maternal grandmother's contact, finding insufficient evidence of parental alienation or compelling reasons to vary the interim order.
