The applicant mother sought sole custody and supervised access for the respondent father in an uncontested trial.
The parties separated after a long relationship, and the respondent had not seen the children since separation.
The applicant raised concerns about the respondent's mental health, anger management, and abusive behaviour, noting he was subject to a recognizance prohibiting contact with her and their eldest child.
The court granted the applicant sole custody and ordered that any access by the respondent be supervised at a supervised access facility.
No child support was ordered as the respondent's income was below the threshold, but he was ordered to provide notice of any employment changes.
