The Applicant Society brought a motion for summary judgment seeking a s. 57.1 custody order placing the child with the father, K.M., without Society supervision, along with supervised access for the mother and maternal grandparents, and a restraining order against the mother.
The mother and maternal grandparents opposed, seeking a change in primary residence or increased access.
The court denied the Society's request for a s. 57.1 order, finding that continued Society supervision was necessary due to unresolved issues regarding the child's counselling, the father's criminal record, bruising incidents, and concerns about the father encouraging contact with the mother.
The court ordered continued supervision for one year, maintained the mother's access, increased the maternal grandparents' access, and issued a permanent restraining order against the mother.
