The father brought a motion seeking unsupervised parenting time with the child, V, through a graduated transition plan.
The mother opposed, also bringing a procedural motion to strike portions of the father's evidence and arguing the main motion was previously settled.
The court partially granted the motion to strike, finding certain expert and opinion evidence inadmissible.
It also determined the main motion was not settled.
Applying the best interests of the child principle under the Children's Law Reform Act, the court found that while unsupervised parenting time was not yet appropriate, a gradual increase in supervised parenting time by the paternal grandmother was in the child's best interest, given the child's increased comfort and the temporary nature of supervision.
