Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from McLaughlin v. Dance, 2018 ONSC 5440 (CanLII):
I will consider the factors set out in Gordon v. Goertz, bearing in mind that this is not a situation where a custodial order has been made and one of the parties is seeking to change that order. Neither parent has been determined to be the custodial parent. The only issue is the children’s best interests. (a) the existing custody arrangement and relationship between the child and the custodial parent (b) the existing access arrangement and the relationship between the child and the access parent
