In a recent ruling, the Nova Scotia Supreme Court denied a father's custody request, citing ongoing concerns about his anger issues, substance use, and emotional abuse towards his 13-year-old daughter. This decision followed years of child protection involvement and a significant incident where the father was arrested under mental health legislation after firing a pellet gun from his daughter's bedroom window. Despite the father's claims of improved mental health and disputed substance abuse allegations, expert testimony and medical records indicated continued risks. The court emphasized the father's lack of insight into his behaviour's impact on his daughter and his failure to address longstanding issues. This case underscores the complexities involved in custody disputes and the paramount importance of a child's safety and well-being.
