Motion review of an emergency restraining order granted without notice on April 2, 2020.
The applicant sought to restrain the respondent from direct or indirect contact with her and their infant daughter, and from approaching their residence or workplace.
The respondent contested the order, denying allegations of abuse and arguing he had voluntarily left the home.
The court found evidence of emotional and aggressive behaviour, including the respondent's admission to breaking down a locked door.
The court granted a modified restraining order prohibiting direct contact and requiring communication through counsel, while establishing supervised access to the child through a third party facilitator.
The court also established a temporary parenting schedule pending a case conference.
