The applicant mother sought to suspend the respondent father's supervised access to their 12-year-old daughter and for security for costs.
The father had filed a Motion to Change seeking to enforce existing access orders or obtain unsupervised access, but failed to properly amend his pleadings or adhere to court timelines.
The court struck the father's Motion to Change as an abuse of process and, finding a material change in circumstances due to the father's harassing and threatening behavior and its detrimental impact on the child's mental health, granted the mother's request to suspend access.
The court also imposed conditions on the father for any future access motions and ordered him to pay outstanding and future costs.
