British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from L.G. v. R.G., 2012 BCSC 1365 (CanLII):
As noted in I.S., at para. 143, citing Sahrmann v. Otto, [1994] B.C.J. No. 1711 (S.C.), “Custody orders can be reviewable or varied after a specific period of time. A court may try to help a non-custodial parent to build a relationship with the child by making an existing sole custody order reviewable after a period on application by that parent for joint custody”.
