When is a mother required to bring the children to the access transfer?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Bors v. Bors, 2021 ONCA 513 (CanLII):
It was not sufficient then, nor is it now, for the mother to assert that she was only required to bring the children to the access transfer, and that she was not responsible for their refusal to transition to their father’s care. Once a court has determined that access is in the child’s best interests, a parent cannot leave the decision to comply with the access order up to the child. Ontario courts have consistently held that a parent has some positive obligation to ensure that a child who allegedly resists contact with the access parent complies with the access order: Godard v. Godard, 2015 ONCA 568 at para. 28.
