In a high-conflict family law matter, the respondent mother sought to suspend the applicant father's access to two young children based on allegations of physical assault and threats, citing criminal charges pending against him.
The applicant father sought to change custody in his favour.
The court dismissed both motions, finding the evidence inconclusive and conflicting.
The court reinstated the consent final order from July 2011 with a police assistance clause, holding that access should only be suspended in extreme circumstances and that the presumption of regular access by a non-custodial parent is in the best interests of children.
The court also imposed restrictions on future motions without leave.
