Galloway and Steele

In the matter of *Galloway and Steele*, heard before Justice Fowler, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for a child, J. The orders indicate a disagreement between the parents regarding the child's time with the father and the mother's access to therapeutic and forensic consultations for the child.

The court was required to determine the specific terms of the child's time with the father, including the duration and frequency of contact, and to address the supervision of this time. Furthermore, the court needed to consider restrictions on the mother's ability to seek psychiatric or psychological assessments for the child.

Justice Fowler ordered that the child spend time with the father each Saturday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, with a modified arrangement for Christmas Day. This time was to be supervised by the child's paternal grandmother, contingent upon her formal consent and an undertaking to terminate contact in the event of any abuse and report such termination to the Independent Children's Lawyer. The mother was also restrained from taking the child for further therapy or forensic consultations without the father's or the court's leave. The hearing of the matter was expedited, with directions given for its early listing.
