Motion review of an ex parte order granting sole custody to the mother and terminating the father's access to the children.
The mother alleged extensive sexual abuse of the children by the father and sought to maintain the access suspension.
The father sought restoration of access and appointment of the Office of the Children's Lawyer.
The court found that while allegations of abuse existed, the evidence was largely unproven by child protection authorities and appeared to be filtered through the mother's accounts.
The court declined to order access at that time due to the psychological harm risk to the children, regardless of the veracity of the allegations, but expressed serious concerns about the mother's pattern of making escalating allegations and the Children's Aid Society's withdrawal from the matter.
