What is the test for having access to a child by one spouse?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from D.M.G.K. v. D.M.K., 2003 BCSC 1765 (CanLII):
In making an order for access, as with custody, the court is to give effect to the principle that children should have as much contact with each spouse as is consistent with their best interests: s. 16, Divorce Act. Access will be curtailed should the children’s welfare require it: Young v. Young (1993), 1993 CanLII 34 (SCC), 84 B.C.L.R. (2d) 1 at 49 (S.C.C.).
