The mother brought a motion to change a 2012 Quebec order that granted sole custody of the child to the father.
The mother had previously abducted the child to France for several years before the child was returned to the father in Canada.
The court found a material change in circumstances but dismissed the mother's request for custody or unsupervised access.
The court concluded that the mother lacked insight into the impact of her actions on the child, remained fixated on unproven allegations against the father, and posed an ongoing risk of alienation.
The father retained sole custody, and the mother was granted supervised access and supervised electronic communication.
