The applicant father brought a motion seeking remedies for the respondent mother's breach of a court order requiring participation in reunification therapy with the children.
The mother sought to terminate the therapy and requested a new custody assessment.
The court found the mother in clear breach of the consent order by unilaterally terminating the therapy.
The court declined to strike the mother's pleadings or impose a fine, but ordered the immediate resumption of therapy and required the mother to reimburse the father for half the costs of the therapy to date.
The mother's requests to remove the therapist and for a new assessment were dismissed, and the matter was expedited to trial.
