The respondent mother brought a motion seeking findings of contempt against the applicant father for alleged breaches of a final parenting order, including issues related to daycare drop-offs, summer camps, and extracurricular activities.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the alleged transgressions did not meet the strict threshold for civil contempt and that some had reasonable explanations or were minor.
The court noted that contempt should be a remedy of last resort and encouraged the parties to use mediation or a motion to change to resolve their disputes.
