“The court has the power to order that the access of a parent be supervised. See s. 16(6) Divorce Act. The onus is on a person seeking to limit access to prove that the requested access restrictions are in the best interests of a child. See Lee v. Albrecht, supra; Hagen v. Muir, [2000] B.C.J. No. 786 (S.C.). Supervised access is not a permanent solution to access problems. Supervised access should only be used to alleviate a short-term problem and not to provide a long-term visitation arrangement. See M.(B.P.) v. M.(B.L.D.E.) (1992), 1992 CanLII 8642 (ON CA), 97 D.L.R. (4th) 437 (Ont. C.A.).”
