The respondent father brought a motion seeking a finding that the applicant mother was in non-compliance with a temporary access order, along with requests for make-up time and various behavioural orders.
The children had been refusing to attend parenting time with the father, which the father alleged was due to parental alienation by the mother, while the mother alleged it was due to the father's past behaviour.
The court reviewed the efforts of multiple professionals and the mother's disciplinary actions, concluding that on an interim record, it could not find the mother in non-compliance.
The court dismissed the non-compliance motion but varied the temporary order to require psychological assessments of the children and participation in an intensive therapy program to facilitate access.
