The applicant mother sought an order terminating the respondent father's access to their two-year-old child, citing his past drug use, abusive behavior, and inconsistent attendance at supervised visits.
The father sought to continue supervised access.
The court found that while the father's inconsistent attendance was concerning, the mother had unilaterally terminated access contrary to an interim order.
Applying the best interests of the child test, the court held that the circumstances did not meet the high threshold required to terminate the parent-child relationship and ordered continued supervised access.
