The moving party mother sought to proceed with a case conference for her motion to change custody and access, arguing the matter was urgent despite the COVID-19 court suspension directive.
She claimed urgency based on the youngest child's alleged suicide threat regarding access to her.
The court found the matter was not urgent, noting the responding party father had already taken appropriate steps by seeking medical assessment and counselling for the child, and that supervised access was unlikely to occur during the pandemic.
The matter was adjourned and the mother was ordered to pay $500 in costs.
