The respondent father brought a motion seeking specified interim parenting time with the parties’ children, including alternating weekends, summer access, and telephone contact.
The applicant mother opposed the request and sought supervised access based on allegations of abusive behaviour during the marriage.
The court found that the evidence, including Children’s Aid Society records and prior unsupervised parenting time, did not establish a risk of harm to the children warranting supervision.
Interim unsupervised access was granted with respect to the younger child, while the older child’s participation was not compelled due to her expressed reluctance.
The court also directed involvement of the Office of the Children’s Lawyer and imposed conduct conditions on both parents.
