What circumstances will lead to the imposition of supervised access?

In Lewis v. Lewis, 2005 NSSC 256, as approved in Bellefontaine v. Slawter, supra, this court reviewed circumstances which may lead to the imposition of supervised access at para 24, which include the following: • Where the child requires protection from physical, sexual or emotional abuse. • Where the child is being introduced or reintroduced into the life of a parent after a significant absence. • Where there are substance abuse issues. • Where there are clinical issues involving the access parent. • Supervised access is not appropriate if its sole purpose is to provide comfort to the custodial parent.
