The moving party father brought a motion to change a final joint custody order, seeking sole custody of the parties' seven-year-old child.
The father alleged that the mother used physical discipline and that the child required more stability due to an ADHD diagnosis.
The court found no material change in circumstances that would warrant altering the existing parenting arrangement.
Evidence from the Office of the Children's Lawyer and collaterals indicated the child's behaviour and emotional well-being had improved significantly since his ADHD diagnosis and medication.
The motion to change was dismissed, and the father was ordered to pay costs of $7,000.
