For example, a woman may have obtained a protection order from a criminal court. A criminal court judge might conclude that there is sufficient evidence to say that this woman's attacker cannot come into contact with her or her children. However, a Youth Division judge or a provincial Superior Court can lift that order to facilitate access rights. So, in order to avoid requiring the use of services to supervise access rights and transfers, the condition prohibiting the aggressor from approaching the victim will be removed, but only for the right of access. Even if there was a protection order for the children, it will be removed to facilitate access rights. In some cases, it might be concluded that access rights were complicated by applying for a protection order, and then the father will be granted 50% custody.
