The respondent father brought a motion to vary a temporary consent order to expand his access to his two-year-old child and remove the condition of supervision.
The applicant mother opposed the motion, relying on an Office of the Children's Lawyer (OCL) report recommending that access remain supervised.
The court considered the OCL report and supervised access notes, finding that while there was a material change in circumstances due to the father's consistent access, transitioning to unsupervised access was not in the child's best interests at this time due to ongoing concerns about the father's behaviour during visits.
The motion was dismissed.
