The applicant mother sought sole custody of the child Parker, born January 27, 2011, to the parties who separated in May 2011.
The respondent father sought joint custody with the mother as primary caregiver and regular access.
The parties reached an impasse regarding access: the mother insisted on supervised access while the father demanded unsupervised access.
After 11 months without contact, the mother sought to terminate the father's access rights entirely.
The court determined that it was in the child's best interests to establish a relationship with his father through a gradual, supervised reintroduction process.
