The applicant sought to vary his probation order to remove the non-contact condition with his girlfriend, J.R., and his children, citing rehabilitation and J.R.'s support.

The Crown opposed, highlighting the applicant's history of domestic violence, breaches of the order, and ambivalence towards alcohol counselling.

The court acknowledged the applicant's efforts but noted ongoing concerns and the lack of complete information due to concurrent family court proceedings where the children had been removed from J.R.'s custody and the applicant was denied supervised access.

The court emphasized the need for a holistic approach to domestic violence cases across criminal and family justice systems.
