The applicant mother brought a motion to change a 2019 final consent order regarding parenting of their 8-year-old child.
The respondent father had withheld in-person parenting time from the mother for three years and was previously found in contempt.
The child exhibited severe behavioural issues and defiance toward the mother but not the father.
The court found a material change in circumstances and ordered a hybrid parenting plan, requiring immediate reunification therapy paid for by the father, 50/50 parenting time pending a review, and for the court to remain seized of the matter for one year to ensure compliance and monitor the child's best interests.
