The Children's Aid Society brought motions to place the child in the temporary care and custody of the paternal grandparents, with specified access for the father and supervised access for the mother.

The mother brought a cross-motion for expanded unsupervised access.

The court granted the Society's motions, placing the child with the grandparents on consent.

The court ordered the father to have a minimum of eight hours of access per week, with the Society having discretion over supervision.

The mother was granted a minimum of two hours of supervised access per week due to concerns about her mental health and behavior, and the lack of an approved supervisor, with a view to expanding access if a suitable supervisor is found.

The applicant sought costs of $3,272.91 following a successful motion regarding a parenting schedule.

The respondent argued that no costs should be awarded due to her limited financial means, or alternatively, costs should be fixed at $500.

The court found that the applicant was the successful party, had made reasonable offers to settle, and that the respondent's failure to respond to settlement efforts was unreasonable.

After deducting time entries unrelated to the motion and considering the respondent's ability to pay, the court ordered the respondent to pay costs of $2,000.
