The applicant mother brought a motion for temporary sole custody of the parties' child.
The respondent father had unilaterally relocated with the child and repeatedly denied the mother access, failing to comply with a previous court order for access.
The father raised uncorroborated allegations of substance abuse and physical abuse against the mother.
The court found the father was actively attempting to sever the child's relationship with the mother.
To preserve the relationship and in the child's best interests, the court granted temporary sole custody to the mother, with scheduled access for the father.
