Is there any case law that provides for maximum contact with grandparents?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Campbell v Campbell, 2018 BCSC 330 (CanLII):
The law provides for maximum contact with spouses, not with grandparents. Thus in Erb v. Fradette, 1999 CarswellSask 57, for example, Justice McIntyre found that preferring grandparent care over parental care “tends to indicate an unwillingness to promote maximum contact.”
