The applicant father brought a motion to change a final consent order that granted the respondent mother sole custody of their child.
The father sought joint custody and equal parenting time, alleging a material change in circumstances based on the child's school attendance, mental health needs, and the mother's failure to follow through with counselling recommendations.
The court found that the father's concerns existed prior to the final order and that the mother had been proactive in addressing the child's needs.
The court concluded there was no material change in circumstances and dismissed the father's motion.
