How is access determined in the best interests of the child?
Yukon, Canada
The following excerpt is from Dhillon v. Dhillon, 2001 YKSC 543 (CanLII):
It is a well-established principle of family law that custody and access disputes are determined by examining what is in the best interests of the child. (Young v. Young, 1993 CanLII 34 (SCC), [1993] 4 S.C.R. 3.) However, access is the right of the child because ultimately the benefit and real cost and burden of all custody and access arrangements ultimately falls on the child (at para. 81).
