The applicant father and respondent mother both brought motions for temporary relief regarding their child.
The father, who had been convicted of sexually assaulting the mother, sought gradually increasing access, while the mother sought sole custody and to terminate any access.
The court found that the mother had previously consented to an order for supervised access and denied her request to appeal it.
Applying the principle that terminating access is a remedy of last resort, the court ordered temporary supervised access for the father for one hour twice a month.
The court also granted the mother temporary sole custody and dispensed with the father's consent for travel and schooling.
