Judge: The Honourable Judge John D. Comeau, JFC
Heard: August 15 and 16, 2012 at Yarmouth, Nova Scotia
Issue: Custody / Access
Summary: In a custody dispute the father had kept the children with him on an access visit. Based on evidence of agents of the Minister of Community Services involvement with the mother, lack of food and proper housing, the Court granted interim custody to the father. At the time it was agreed he needed the support of his mother and she was granted leave and interim joint custody.
Result: With the assistance of a Children=s Wish Assessment and Home Study, it was determined the children were happy with their father in his new home. It was in their best interests they remain with him, with access to the mother.
