What is the impact of a mother's behaviour in attempting to undermine the relationship between her children and their father?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Groff v. Russell, 2019 ONCJ 898 (CanLII):

There is a serious concern that the mother’s behaviour in attempting to undermine the children’s relationship with their father, whether intentional or unintentional, demonstrates her inability to act in the children’s best interests. [see Leggatt v. Leggatt [2015] O.J. No. 3744]
