The mother brought a contempt motion against the father for wilfully breaching a court-ordered access order by blocking her access to the parties' two children on November 14 and November 16, 2012.
The father claimed he was legally justified in denying access because the older child had allegedly been traumatized after seeing the mother's boyfriend in the apartment building on November 12, 2012.
The court found the father's evidence to be unreliable and contradicted by surveillance video, witness testimony, and the child's counselling report.
The court concluded that the father had fabricated his justification and was motivated by his dislike of the mother's boyfriend and his desire to undermine the mother-child relationship.
The court found the father in contempt of the access order without legal justification.
