What is supervised access for a parent of a child with mental health issues?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from D.J. v. S.F., 2017 ONCJ 879 (CanLII):
Supervised access is not intended to be a long-term arrangement for a child. It is beneficial for children who require gradual reintroduction to a parent, or whose safety requires it until such time as the parent is sufficiently rehabilitated and a child is no longer in danger of physical or emotional harm. Najjardizaji v. Mehrjerdi [2004] O.J. No. 5472 (OCJ).
