Father's appeal of Crown wardship and access order dismissed; trial judge made no palpable errors.
The father appealed a trial judge's order making his child a Crown ward and denying him the right of access, instead granting the child the right to hold access.
The father argued the trial judge misapprehended the evidence regarding his plan of care and erred in the access determination.
The Superior Court of Justice dismissed the appeal, finding no palpable and overriding errors.
The trial judge's conclusions that the father's plan of care was not viable and that granting the father access would impair the child's future adoption prospects were fully supported by the evidence.
Motion to extend time to file Answer/Plan of Care dismissed due to lack of realistic plan.
The mother brought a motion seeking leave to extend the time to file her Answer/Plan of Care to an amended status review application.
The child had been out of the mother's care for over 19 months and was thriving in the care of the maternal grandmother.
The mother had missed the filing deadline and had not seen the child for over five months.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the mother failed to present a realistic plan of care or establish that granting the extension was in the child's best interests, emphasizing the child's need for permanency.
