The parties separated following a tumultuous marriage marked by allegations of intimate partner violence.
The respondent was criminally charged and repeatedly breached bail conditions by contacting the applicant, leading to a 60-day jail sentence.
The respondent brought a motion for supervised parenting time, while the applicant sought a section 30 assessment before any parenting time occurred.
The court ordered a section 30 assessment to be conducted by a psychologist, funded initially from the parties' joint line of credit.
The court dismissed the respondent's motion for supervised parenting time, finding it contrary to the children's best interests given the respondent's ongoing coercive conduct, indirect attempts to contact the applicant, and the children's current behavioral challenges.
