The applicant mother brought an urgent motion seeking orders related to the respondent father's alleged alcohol consumption while driving with their child, including the use of an alcohol monitoring device and third-party transportation.
The mother's concerns stemmed from an incident where the child reported erratic driving and the father drinking.
The father denied the allegations, asserting he consumed only one glass of wine and that erratic driving was due to another vehicle.
The court found insufficient objective evidence to substantiate the mother's claims of alcohol addiction or to justify the imposition of an alcohol monitoring device or third-party transport.
However, the father's undertaking not to consume alcohol 12 hours prior to any access exchange was formalized into a temporary court order.
The court also granted the mother leave to file an application and scheduled a case conference.
