The father brought a motion for expanded access to his young child, including overnight visits, while the mother brought a cross-motion to restrict the father's access to supervised visits only.
The mother alleged that the child had suffered unexplained injuries, including bruises and sunburns, while in the father's care and that he was unable to meet the child's health and dietary needs.
The father denied the allegations and relied on positive observation notes from supervised access centres and a Child and Family Services investigation that found no substantiated concerns.
The court granted the father's motion for overnight access, finding that the mother's evidence did not support her claims and that her concerns were disproportionate to the neutral third-party evidence.
The court dismissed the mother's motion to restrict access.
