The Applicant father sought to lift supervised parenting time and expand his parenting schedule with his 2.5-year-old daughter.
The Respondent mother opposed, citing safety concerns, communication issues, and the father's past disrespectful conduct.
The court found that while the father had made significant improvements, continued supervision was necessary for a limited period, with a step-up schedule for increased parenting time.
The court emphasized the importance of child-focused and respectful communication between parents, particularly for a young child, and provided a roadmap for the eventual lifting of supervision based on adherence to communication protocols and other conditions.
The motion for immediate lifting of supervision was denied, but expansion of time was granted with conditions.
