British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from A.J.M. v. British Columbia (Child, Family and Community Service), 2014 BCSC 1209 (CanLII):
New Brunswick v. L.(M.) provides the principles that apply when determining whether it is in the best interests of a child to be alienated from his or her parents: a) When a continuing care order is made a parent loses all rights of access (unless an application is granted pursuant to s. 56 of CFCSA); b) The goal to preserve family ties is only persuasive if it is in the best interests of the child to do so; and c) If a child would suffer either physically or psychologically from access with a parent no access should be granted.
