What is the test for separating a child from one parent?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from McIntyre v. Veinot, 2016 NSSC 8 (CanLII):
Similarly, absent a compelling reason to do so, Courts generally avoid separating siblings. In that regard, the court in Hill v. Hill, [2008] O.J. No. 4730, stated, at paragraph 42: It is extremely rare for a court to separate children resulting in one child residing with one parent and the other child residing with the other parent. There must be very compelling evidence to separate siblings.
