What is the test for supervised parenting time?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Hatab v. Abuhatab, 2022 ONSC 1560 (CanLII):

In BRM v. MAEM, 2021 ONSC 2791, Finlayson J. noted that the case law, in which supervised parenting time has been ordered, invariably includes a multitude of troubling features that are present. Those features may include harassing and harmful behaviours towards the other parent or the child, a history of violence, uncontrollable behaviour, substance misuse, other behaviour that presents a risk to the child, alienation, ongoing severe denigration of the other parent, a lack of a relationship between the parent having parenting time and the child, negligence or abuse, and sometimes when the child's views and preferences are in favour of supervision.
