The respondent father brought a motion to change custody and access orders from 2015, initially seeking custody but later withdrawing that claim and seeking increased access to the children.
The applicant mother opposed the motion.
The court found that both parents had contributed to access difficulties through miscommunication and inflexibility.
The court granted the father substantially increased access including monthly weekend visits, extended holiday access, and summer access in August.
The court terminated the restraining order against the father and replaced it with a conduct order under the Children's Law Reform Act, finding that the mother's fear was subjective but not reasonable given the passage of time and lack of substantiated threats.
