This motion concerns parenting time for three young children (3-year-old twins and a 2-year-old) following the arrest and subsequent withdrawal of criminal charges against the mother.
The mother sought to vary a temporary parenting order that had limited her to seven hours of supervised parenting time per week.
The father opposed the variation, arguing the mother engaged in a pattern of coercive and controlling behaviour, including orchestrating an elaborate scheme involving impersonation and threats.
The court found insufficient evidence to conclude the mother was responsible for the scheme, but remained concerned about her pattern of fabricating stories about deceased or non-existent children told to multiple individuals.
The court increased the mother's parenting time to include overnight visits supervised by maternal grandparents, while maintaining supervision pending trial.
