The respondent father brought a motion to vary a temporary order to increase his parenting time and allow for unsupervised access.
The applicant mother opposed, arguing no material change in circumstances and citing the father's recent assault conviction against their daughter.
The court found that the filing of the OCL report and the conclusion of the father's criminal trial constituted a material change.
Considering the children's best interests, the father's rehabilitation efforts, and the OCL's positive observations of his interactions with the children, the court granted the father's motion, establishing a progressive schedule for unsupervised parenting time and ordering the mother to pay costs.
