The children's aid society brought a motion for an interim order to keep a one-year-old child in its temporary care and custody.
The father brought a cross-motion seeking the child's return to his care or placement with the paternal grandparents.
The mother supported the society's motion.
The court found reasonable grounds to believe the child would be at risk of harm if returned to either parent due to domestic violence, substance abuse, and lack of parenting experience.
The court also found that a kinship assessment of the paternal grandparents was incomplete and that placing the child with them would hinder the mother's access.
The society's motion was granted.
