What is the test for terminating a father-daughter relationship?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Wallington v. Maxwell, 2016 BCSC 219 (CanLII):
In Marsland v. Gibb, the child continuously and completely rejected her father’s attempts to establish a father-daughter relationship. The father had received no communications from his daughter in nine years, despite his repeated attempts to contact her. She returned cards he sent and informed him that he was “not welcome” in her life. There was no conduct on the part of the father that justified the termination of the relationship. On that basis, Romilly J. found she was no longer a child of the marriage.
