What is the case law in favour of maintaining custody of the same parent?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Nloga v Ndjouga, 2015 ONSC 5925 (CanLII):
I accept that in this case, leaving the custody arrangement as is will prevent the type of enriching and nurturing contact contemplated by MEL v. PRH. Most importantly, the evidence is clear that it is in the children’s best interests to be together during these very formative years. It goes beyond simply living together in the same household, but being together at the same daycare, sharing the same extracurricular activities and knowing that the conflict between their parents has (hopefully) been reduced because this litigation is finally over.
