The Respondent father brought an urgent motion to restore in-person access to the child, which the Applicant mother had unilaterally suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic and concerns for her elderly parents and the child's health.
The Applicant brought a cross-motion to formalize the video-only access.
The court found the Respondent's motion urgent, rejected the Applicant's reasons for withholding access, and granted the Respondent's motion, dismissing the Applicant's cross-motion.
The court emphasized the importance of in-person contact and adherence to court orders, noting the Applicant's history of non-compliance.
