The applicant father sought a motion for summary judgment to vary a 2014 parenting order, requesting sole decision-making responsibility and parenting time for their 15-year-old child, Dakota, with the respondent mother's contact at Dakota's discretion.
The applicant also sought restraints on the respondent's contact with Dakota's school and control over Dakota's important documents and travel.
The court found a material change in circumstances since the 2014 order, noting Dakota has resided solely with the applicant since 2020/2021 and communications with the respondent are stressful for Dakota.
The court granted most of the applicant's requested relief, emphasizing the child's best interests and views, and dismissed certain restraining orders due to lack of evidence.
