The applicant father brought a summary judgment motion seeking sole custody of two children and termination or supervised access for the respondent mother.
The respondent mother did not file responding materials and indicated she would not participate in the court process.
The court found no genuine issue requiring trial and granted the father sole custody.
The mother had a documented history of violence, anger management issues, and involvement with child protection authorities.
She had ceased all contact with the children since February 2019, refusing to see them unless they returned to her care.
The children had been in the father's continuous care for over four years and expressed preference to remain with him, with supervised access to their mother if any contact were to occur.
