What is the test for good faith in a custody dispute?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from McCaffrey v. Paleolog, 2006 BCSC 1000 (CanLII):
One assumes, until shown otherwise, that parents approach custody contests in good faith and that, whatever the tactical steps taken, they still have their children’s best interests at heart (viz., for example, the comments of Macaulay J. in Morrison v. Morrison[3] at paras. 4 and 5, albeit respecting costs).
