The father applied for sole custody of the parties' four-year-old child.
Following separation, the parties initially shared parenting on an alternating weekly schedule.
However, the mother unilaterally terminated this schedule, relocated, and engaged in a pattern of alienating behaviour, including terminating the father's relationship with her older child to whom the father had stood in loco parentis.
The court found the mother lacked the ability to foster a positive relationship between the child and the father.
The father was granted sole custody, with the mother receiving specified access, and child support was ordered to commence after a grace period.
