What is the impact of a parent’s contact with their child on the relationship between the parties?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Torok v Ball, 2017 ONSC 922 (CanLII):
As a general rule, it is in the best interests of a child to develop and maintain a relationship with both parents: see Gordon v. Goertz (1996), 1996 CanLII 191 (SCC), 19 R.F.L. (4th) 177 (S.C.C.). In most access disputes, the focus of the litigation is on why a court should not maximize contact between a child and a parent. RESPONDENT’S SUBMISSIONS
