The following excerpt is from R.A. v. D.P., 2017 ONSC 4622 (CanLII):
A judge is unlikely to change ongoing child-care arrangements that meet a child’s needs simply because the other parent claims that he or she can also care for that child. (See Longergan v. Longergan, [1998] W.D.F.L. 332 (B.C.S.C.).
