The applicant, D.B., sought sole custody of his child, A.W.-B., born July 2010, under the Children's Law Reform Act.
The child had been apprehended by the Children's Aid Society of the Region of Peel following unexplained serious injuries in October 2010.
Following comprehensive Pathways assessments in summer 2011, the child was placed in D.B.'s care under society supervision.
The respondent, J.W., the child's mother, failed to file responding material and was noted in default.
The court granted sole custody to D.B. based on his demonstrated parenting ability, the respondent's inadequate parenting capacity as identified in the Pathways assessment, and her irregular access attendance.
The respondent was ordered to provide financial disclosure for determination of child support and special expenses contributions at a future return date.
