Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kagan v. Kagan, 2010 ONSC 5965 (CanLII):
A court may allow one of an access parent’s friends or family to supervise access to reduce the artificiality of the situation, but only if the person undertakes never to leave the parent and child alone: see Shepherd v. Shepherd, [2000] B.C.J. No. 305 (S.C.).
