A child protection application concerning two children found in need of protection due to high-conflict domestic circumstances between their parents.
The mother sought sole custody with no access to the father, a restraining order, and costs.
The father sought to reinstate access with a view to restoring joint custody.
The court found that the children's consistent refusal to see their father, combined with the father's uncontrolled emotional dysregulation, verbal abuse, past assault, and threatening comments, justified a no-access order.
The court granted sole custody to the mother, imposed restrictions on future access applications, issued a restraining order, and declined to award costs against the father.
